C.D. Hayes, rider of No Niki No, trained by Eoghan Joseph O'Neill, reported to the Clerk of the Scales that his mount lugged right in the straight.

The Raceday Stewards reviewed an incident approximately two furlongs from home involving Beechwood, ridden by W.J. Lee, placed second, and La Dame Blanche, ridden by R.P. Whelan, placed fourth, where it appeared Beechwood got tight for room down the rail momentarily. Having viewed the recording of the race and considered the matter, the Raceday Stewards were satisfied that no further action was warranted.

225C Irish EBF Auction Series M'dn

The Raceday Stewards enquired into an incident in the home straight involving Wild Island, ridden by G.F. Carroll, unplaced, Drish Samphire, ridden by W. Joyce, unplaced, and Elegante Lady, ridden by R. Whearty, unplaced, where it appeared W. Joyce and G.F. Carroll had to check. Evidence was heard from the riders concerned. R. Whearty stated that he pulled his stick through to his left hand and as he struck his mount she dived right. He further added that he felt he corrected her immediately. W. Joyce stated that he suffered interference and had to take a check. G.F. Carroll stated that it just got a bit tight and he had to check. Having viewed the recording of the race and considered the evidence, the Raceday Stewards found R. Whearty was in breach of Rule 214 in that he had ridden carelessly, and having considered his record in this regard (second offence) the Raceday Stewards suspended him for four racedays.

R. Whearty, rider of Elegante Lady, trained by Adrian Murray, reported to the Clerk of the Scales that his mount ducked right in the straight.
