Dylan is a great talent and it was a very astute ride. He felt they went very hard, we were a long way back early on but it was essential that we got her to switch off tonight going a mile-and-a-half for the first time. She can be hard on herself. She threatened to do that a few times last year and then she kind of lost her way so it's great to get her back. She has a lovely pedigree, her second dam (Ameerat) won the 1,000 Guineas, so it's important to get that. I was afraid the loose horse would see the gate here, turn to the right and take us out. It would be just our luck! He probably gave us something to race with. She won well enough and we won't be in a hurry with her as she needs three or four weeks between our races.

The Stewards informed Joseph Anthony Murray, trainer that Never Back Down, would have to be recertified before being declared to run from stalls again

M.P. Sheehy, rider of Dr Patrick trained by Luke Comer, reported to the Clerk of the Scales that his mount suffered interference at the bottom of the home straight

W. Joyce, rider of Never Back Down trained by Joseph Anthony Murray, reported to the Clerk of the Scales that his mount went to come out under the front of the stalls and unseated him as the stalls opened

The Stewards enquired into an incident early in the straight involving Conor Hogan, ridden by J. Kearney and Dr Patrick, ridden by M.P. Sheehy, where it appeared that Dr Patrick received some interference when Conor Hogan changed course. Evidence was heard from the riders concerned. In his evidence, M.P. Sheehy stated that a gap opened for his mount to take but Conor Hogan switched left of a loose horse causing his own mount to check. J

Kearney stated that the loose horse had drifted to the right and he checked his own mount and switched to the left accidentally interfering with Dr Patrick. Having viewed the recording of the race and considered the evidence, the Stewards took no further action. Ian Kearney accompanied J. Kearney at this enquiry.
