O'Keeffe, Secrecies Of Stone, ridden by S.F. O'Keeffe, and Eabha Rose, ridden by C. Stone-Walsh where it appeared these riders came forward too quickly prior to the start. Evidence was heard from the starter and riders concerned. The Starter stated that he can see the Meet My Loreley is being difficult on the outer, as they come forward a rider at the back was shouting "no" and was not happy so he could not let them go. M.J.M. O'Sullivan stated that his mare has been rearing up, he was turned sideways, he eventually got her relaxed and had the impression it would be a false start when the flag went up. P. Byrnes stated that his mount was relaxed walking round the bend, he was restraining him when he became very head strong. D.J. O'Keeffe stated that it was very messy at the start, he was sitting back in the saddle when a few of them got excited. He knew they were coming too fast as they were very close to the tape. S.F. O'Keeffe stated that he got the impression it would be a false start, they were very close to the tape and they eventually go through it. C. Stone-Walsh stated that his mare was reluctant to walk forward and he had to remind her to go forward, he thought the race was going to start and got too close to the tape. Having viewed the recording of the race and considered the evidence, the Raceday Stewards accepted the explanations of M.J.M. O'Sullivan, P. Byrnes, D.J. O'Keeffe and S.F. O'Keeffe but found C. Stone-Walsh in breach of Rule 208 (v)(b) by failing to comply with an instruction from the Starter and having considered his record in this regard the Raceday Stewards suspended him for one race day.
