Things haven't really gone his way so far but Rachael gave him a lovely ride and got the best out of him. I'm currently heading over to Epsom (for the Derby) with the owners who are mostly London based. I'll have to talk to the lads to see where we go next. There's six involved in the horse. Andrew McNamara, trainer

A.E. Lynch, rider of Whosasking trained by A.J.Martin, reported to the Clerk of Scales that his mount made a bad mistake and never travelled thereafter

J.S. McGarvey, rider of Jake Peter, trained by Patrick J.Flynn, reported to the Stewards' Secretaries that his mount jumped poorly, ran very green and never travelled through out

The Stewards enquired into the running and riding of Canford Lady, ridden by M.J. Bolger, and trained by Seamus Fahey. Evidence was heard from the rider and trainer concerned. M.J. Bolger, stated that his instructions were to drop in, settle his mount as well as he could and to do the best he could. He said his mount jumped the first few on her head but settled well thereafter and jumped well over all. He said he rode his mount to get home as she had failed to stay the trip on her previous run and with this in mind he allowed his mount time to fill her lungs before running on in the closing stages past tired horses

Seamus Fahey, confirmed that the rider rode to instructions and expressed his satisfaction with the ride. He said his charge had disappointed in the past and felt that she appeared to appreciated the better ground today. He further added in future he would instruct the rider to ride her differently given how well she appeared to appreciate the better ground. The Stewards also received a report from the Irish Horseracing Regulatory Board Veterinary Officer, who stated that Canford Lady had a skin graze on the inside of the left fore cannon but was otherwise post race normal. Having viewed the recording of the race and considered the evidence, the Stewards were of the opinion that both rider and trainer were in breach of Rule 212 A(ii). Having taken their previous records in this regard into account, the Stewards suspended M.J. Bolger for 5 racedays and ordered that he forfeit his riding fee

The stewards fined Seamus Fahey, trainer, ?2000 and suspended Canford Lady for 42 days.
