135A Broadford H'cap S'chase

The Irish Horseracing Regulatory Board Veterinary Officer examined Blackjack Boy, trained by E. McNamara, at the request of the Stewards and reported the animal to have sustained a wound to his medial right hind cannon and left fore fetlock.

D.J. McInerney, rider of Butte Montana trained by Michael Winters, reported to the Clerk of the Scales that his mount jumped poorly throughout and was subsequently pulled up.

The Stewards requested a report from Moses McCabe, trainer, as to the apparent improvement in form of Brog Ahaon, placed first, as compared with its recent run at Tipperary on the 5th May when finishing thirteenth of seventeen finishers. Moses McCabe reported that his charge had been off the track since September 2020 when making his reappearance at Tipperary. On that day the gound had been watered and his charge struggled on the good to yielding surface. Today he appreciated the good fast ground and in his opinion this was the contributing factor to his victory. Having considered the evidence the Stewards noted the content of the report.

The Stewards enquired into an incident after the last fence involving Fakiera (FR), ridden by J.W. Kennedy, Ferdia, ridden by P K Donovan, and Il Courra, ridden by P.J. O'Hanlon, where it appeared that Ferdia may have suffered interference. Evidence was heard from the riders concerned. In his evidence, P J O'Hanlon, stated that he only felt minimum interference. J W Kennedy stated that he was just in front of Ferdia when his own mount drifted right after the last fence when he used his whip in his left hand. He added that his mount was lairy, wore cheek pieces today and he corrected him as quickly as he could. P K Donovan stated that his mount received interference in the air at the last fence and was unable to accelerate later when the gap appeared to challenge. Having viewed the recording of the race and considered the evidence, the Stewards were satisfied that J.W. Kennedy was in breach of Rule 214 by riding carelessly. Having taken his previous record into consideration, the Stewards cautioned J.W. Kennedy on this occasion.
