068C Fairyhouse Steel H'cap H'dle

The Stewards enquired into the late withdrawals of Ilikedwayurthinkin trained by Gavin Cromwell and Bois De Clamart (FR) trained by Miss Elizabeth Doyle where both trainers cited "Going" as the reason. The trainers felt that the going was faster in places than the official going description possibly as a result of the drying wind and was unsuited to their charges. Having considered all the evidence, the Stewards accepted the reasons offered and did not impose any penalty on this occasion.

Rachael Blackmore, rider of Ellie Mac trained by Henry de Bromhead, reported to the Clerk of Scales that her mount never travelled during this race before being pulled up.

The Stewards reviewed an incident about five furlongs from the finish involving Aarons Day, ridden by B. Browne, unplaced, Swordsman, ridden by J.C. Gainford, unplaced and Max Flamingo, ridden by D.F. O'Regan, placed first, where it appeared that Max Flamingo stumbled for a stride and both Aarons Day and Swordsman veered left when tracking Max Flamingo. Having viewed the recording and considered the matter, the Stewards were satisfied that no further action was warranted.
