The Raceday Stewards enquired into the circumstances surrounding the late arrival of Kansai to the start having been trotted all the way down and contributed to a three minute delay to the start of this race. Evidence was heard from the trainers Authorised Representative, Siobhan O'Callaghan and D. McMonagle. Siobhan O'Callaghan stated that that this horse can be a difficult individual. D. McMonagle stated that this is a tricky horse and as he was cantering to the start his mount went right and ended up on the ambulance track.

244D Irish Stallion Farms EBF Vinnie Roe Stks

The Raceday Stewards enquired into possible interference in the closing stages involving Chemistry, ridden by D.P. McDonogh, placed second, and Kinesiology (GB), ridden by S. Foley, placed first, where it appeared that interference may have occurred. Evidence was heard from the riders concerned. D.P. McDonogh stated that his mount was rallying when he received two severe bumps which knocked his momentum. He further added that he felt this interference had cost him the winning of the race. S. Foley accepted that his mount had shifted left while idling in front but was of the opinion that Chemistry had come out to meet him also causing the incident to look worse. He concluded by stating that although the winning margin was only a neck, his mount won comfortably. Having viewed the recording of the race and considered the evidence, the Raceday Stewards were of the opinion that Kinesiology had caused interference to Chemistry and as a result of this interference had improved it’s finishing position. As a consequence, the Raceday Stewards reversed the placings of the first and second positions and amended the result to read as follows:

Amended Result:
First: Chemistry
Second: Kinesiology
Third: Barnso
Fourth: Aeronautic
Fifth: Lady Doris
Sixth: Birdman
