The Raceday Stewards enquired under Rule 212.A.(ii), into the running and riding of Cher Why Not, ridden by Mr D. Doyle ,and trained by Timothy Doyle. Evidence was heard from the rider and trainer concerned. Mr D. Doyle stated that his instructions were to jump off mid division, get into a rhythm and give his mount the best chance of running to his full potential. He further stated that turning for home he felt his mount take one or two blows and became outpaced. He did not want to give his mount too hard of a race after his chance of winning was gone. Timothy Doyle confirmed the instructions but also added that the rider should have made more of an effort down the straight. Having viewed the recording of the race and considered the evidence, the Raceday Stewards found Mr D. Doyle in breach of Rule 212.A.(ii) (in that he was not seen to have attempted to obtain from his mount timely, real and substantial efforts to achieve the best possible place). Having considered his record in this regard (first offence), they suspended him for ten racedays. The Irish Horseracing Regulatory Board Veterinary Officer examined Cher Why Not at the request of the Raceday Stewards and reported the animal to be post race normal. Samples were taken for further analysis.
