237D Assembly Tech (M) H'cap H'dle

The Raceday Stewards enquired into an incident coming down the hill approaching the second last hurdle involving Pidoyne, ridden by D. Moloney, unplaced, Straight Home, ridden by P. Townend, placed third, and Good Bye Milan, ridden by P.T. Enright, unplaced, where it appeared Pidoyne ran short of room. Evidence was heard from the riders concerned. D. Molony stated that he just got a bit tight for room. P. Townend stated that the horse in front of him was retreating which caused things to get tight momentarily as he received a bump. He further added that there was enough room for numerous horses in the gap. P.T. Enright stated that he received slight contact to the back of his mount and kept a straight line. Having viewed the recording of the race and considered the evidence, the Raceday Stewards found P. Townend 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.

P. Townend, rider of Get In Line, trained by W.P. Mullins, reported to the Clerk of the Scales that his mount stopped quickly at the second last.

The Raceday Stewards reviewed an incident at the second last hurdle involving Joe Hannigan, ridden by Niall Moore, unplaced, and Miss Lia, ridden by T. Power Roche, placed first, where it appeared contact was made between the two horses on landing. Having viewed the recording of the race and considered the matter, the Raceday Stewards were satisfied that no further action was warranted.
