I thought she won easily the last day and the owners were anxious enough to come to Leopardstown, they wanted to get a mark as they are breeders. I'd like to go to Gowran Park with her on Saturday week for a fillies’ race but it depends what the handicapper does. It'll be either that or Galway, we'll discuss it with the owners when things cool down a bit. Michael Mulvany, trainer

The Stewards interviewed Sorcha Woods, rider of Drummond Warrior, concerning her use of the whip in the latter stages of this race. Evidence was heard from the rider concerned who stated that she used her whip to keep her mount straight on the home bend and in the closing stages. Having viewed a recording of the race and considered the evidence the Stewards found the rider in breach of Reg.10.3(g)(frequency) and having taken her record into account suspended her for three race days

The Stewards enquired into an incident in the straight involving Howling Wolf, ridden by L.T. McAteer, Crystal Dawn, ridden by R. Whearty, and Take My Hand, ridden by W. Joyce, where it appeared Howling Wolf ran short of room and checked. Evidence was heard from the riders concerned. L.T. McAteer stated that they had gone quick, the race was getting rough going into the bend. In the straight he was going backwards when he received pressure from his inner when his chance was gone, at which point he sat up. R. Whearty, who gave his evidence in the presence of Mr. Ian Kearney, stated that he rode in a straight line up the straight before getting a bump. W

Joyce stated that he shifted right in the straight but wasn't aware how close the horse on his outer was and didn't hear a shout. Having viewed the recording of the race and considered the evidence, the Stewards found W. Joyce in breach of Rule 214 (Careless Riding) and having taken his record into account cautioned him on this occasion
