O' Connor, Irish Horseracing Regulatory Board Veterinary Officer, that she was unable to positively identify Nothing Hectic, trained by Miss Hilary McLoughlin. Evidence was heard from the Irish Horseracing Regulatory Board Veterinary Officer and the trainer's representative. Ms. N

O' Connor stated that on routine scanning with different scanners, a microchip could not be located and she was unable to identify the animal in accordance with the requirements of Rule 90. She added that the markings contained in the passport did not correspond with the filly presented.
