Protecting the Integrity & Reputation of Irish Horseracing

Killarney 13th July 2022

The Stewards fined the following trainer in respect of their non-runner:-

P. Twomey, trainer of Pinar Del Rio (GB) (Off feed) - €200

196E M.D. O'Shea & Sons H'cap

The Stewards requested a report from Damian Joseph English, trainer, as to the apparent improvement in form of Geological, placed first, as compared with its recent form. The trainer reported that his yard had been under a cloud for a very long time and his horses had disappointed. He advised that he had not trained a winner since this animal won at Down Royal twelve months ago. In his opinion his charge had lost his confidence but following a general return to form of his runners and the drop in the ratings of Geological from 78 on the day he won last year to 62 today were contributing factors to the improved performance. Having considered the evidence the Stewards noted the content of the report.

At the request of the Stewards, S.J. Cummins, rider of Approachcautiously, trained by Seamus G. O'Donnell, reported to the Stewards' Secretaries that his mount was getting tight for room on the first bend when he took a precautionary check.

W.J. Lee, rider of Cactus Tree trained by M.C. Grassick, reported to the Clerk of the Scales that his mount had no run in the final one hundred yards.

196F Laurels H'cap

The I.H.R.B. Veterinary Officer examined Estepona Sun (GB), trained by C.Byrnes, at the request of the Stewards and reported the animal to be post race normal.

D.P. McDonogh, rider of Tudor Manor trained by Patrick J. Flynn, reported to the Clerk of the Scales that his mount was hampered at the bend past the stands.

S.P. Davis, rider of Estepona Sun (GB) trained by C. Byrnes, reported to the Clerk of the Scales that his mount jumped awkwardly from the starting stalls and took a keen hold.

W.J. Lee, rider of Hanbags N Gladrags trained by Andrew Kinirons, reported to the Clerk of the Scales that his mount hung left up the straight.

G.P. Brouder, rider of Queen Amanirenas trained by Charles Coakley, reported to the Clerk of the Scales that his mount could not be controlled or steered and was therefore pulled up.

196G Killarney Grand Hotel H'cap

D.P. McDonogh, rider of Walnut Beach trained by Patrick J. Flynn, reported to the Clerk of the Scales that his mount was slowly away from the starting stalls.
