It was great to win that, the same connections won it nine years ago with Sea Light,. He was getting a lot of weight off the second and he gave him a lovely cool ride. He came there and got a great jump at the last. He won snug enough without having too much to spare. I'd say two-and-a-half is probably his trip, I'd say two miles is a bit sharp for him. We'll find something again over that trip. The syndicate have been very lucky. This is probably the most expensive horse they've ever bought. They've had some great days. C Byrnes, trainer

Rachael Blackmore, rider of Spirit Of Legend (FR) trained by Henry de Bromhead, reported to the Clerk of the Scales that her mount jumped left at the final hurdle and hung left afterwards

The Raceday Stewards enquired into an incident after the final hurdle involving Spirit Of Legend (FR), ridden by Rachael Blackmore, and Gaoth Chuil, ridden by D.F. O'Regan where it appeared Spirit Of Legend (FR) edged inwards and may have interfered with Gaoth Chuil which was racing close to the rails. Evidence was heard from the riders concerned. In his evidence, D.F. O'Regan stated that Spirit Of Legend (FR) landed over the final hurdle just ahead of his own mount and then came inwards causing slight interference but this had no effect on his final placing. Rachael Blackmore stated that her mount was about a half a length up on Gaoth Chuil when landing over the final hurdle and fell in to the left but she felt that she had reacted immediately to straighten her mount. Having viewed the recording of the race and considered the evidence, the Raceday Stewards took no further action other than to advise Rachael Blackmore to ride with more awareness. Mr. T. Breen, Chairman of the Raceday Stewards recused himself from this enquiry. Mr. L. McFerran acted as the Chairman of the Raceday Stewards for this enquiry.
