I'm delighted they put this extra race on and he's improved again. He's not the biggest and wouldn't be able to carry a lot of weight. Rory gave him a hell of a ride. I'd like to dedicate this win to my son Paul's father-in-law Jimmy Byrne who we buried yesterday. He came racing with me a lot and this is an emotional win. Thomas Cleary, trainer

The Stewards interviewed James Feane, authorised representative for John James Feane, trainer, concerning the failure to nominate a rider before the designated time for Blockstar Girl. Evidence was heard from the trainer's representative who stated that it was an oversight on his trainer's part as it was always intended that A.J. Farragher would ride this filly. Having considered the evidence, the Stewards were satisfied that John James Feane was in breach of R(3) by failing to nominate a rider by the deadline fixed for such nominations and through his representative fined him ?200 having taken his previous record into consideration. The Stewards allowed the request for A.J. Farragher to ride. Mr Edward Galvin, Acting Steward, did not attend this enquiry.

Keane, unplaced, where it appeared that Doonard Prince was lying in against Free To Roam. Evidence was heard from the riders concerned. Having viewed the recording of the race and considered the evidence, the Stewards took no further action.
