176C Shanagher Hearing H'cap

The Raceday Stewards advised Aidan Anthony Howard, trainer of Lady Mary Heath, that a repeat performance from his charge who unseated the rider twice on the way down to the start may render the animal liable to a suspension in the future.

The Raceday Stewards enquired into an incident in the home straight involving Northern Attitude, ridden by C. Geerdharry, placed fourth, and Mullacash Buzz, ridden by G.M. Ryan, unplaced, where it appeared G.M. Ryan had to check. Evidence was heard from the riders concerned. G.M. Ryan stated that he had to snatch up for a stride and contact was made. C. Geerdharry stated that he thought he was clear at the time. Having viewed the recording of the race and considered the evidence, the Raceday Stewards found C. Geerdharry was in breach of Rule 214 in that he had ridden carelessly, and having considered his clean record in this regard the Raceday Stewards suspended him for two racedays.
