107D Derrinstown Stud Derby Trial StakesThe Stewards fined J.S. Bolger, trainer, €65 for failing to fit the declared tongue tie to Wexford Soil, prior to entering the parade ring.
The Stewards enquired into possible interference in the closing stages involving Fernando Vichi, ridden by G.M. Ryan, placed third and Southern Lights, ridden by D.P. McDonogh, placed sixth, where it appeared that interference may have occurred. Evidence was heard from the riders concerned. D.P. McDonogh stated that he was finishing fast and had to check when the gap in front of him closed. G.M. Ryan stated that he was not aware that there was a horse on the rail when he moved to the rail. Having viewed the recording of the race and considered the evidence, the Stewards were of the opinion that while Fernando Vichi had caused interference to Southern Lights, he did not improve his finishing position as a result of this interference so they made no alteration to the Judge's placings. They were, however, of the opinion that G.M. Ryan was in breach of Rue 214, in that he had ridden carelessly. Having considered G.M. Ryan's record in this regard the Stewards suspended G.M. Ryan for three racedays.
D.P. McDonogh, rider of Southern Lights trained by Joseph Patrick O'Brien, reported to the Clerk of Scales that his mount was checked in the straight.
