Unfortunately with the restrictions my brother Richard couldn't be here. He is half owner with us and I'm sure he's having a heart-attack at home at the moment!. We didn't expect much in Tipperary and then were disappointed at the end and she is named after my wife Ann Gallagher and we bred her. . It is quiet here but is great to be out. We'll head now and call to my brother Richard on the way home - we're from Kildorrery originally and live in Watergrasshill. Henry De Bromhead, trainer

The Stewards enquired into the running and riding of Go Gill Go, ridden by P.K. Donovan, and trained by James Grace. Evidence was heard from the rider and trainer concerned. P.K. Donovan, stated that he was instructed to jump off midway to rear of the field and depending on the pace, he was to creep into the race and ride the filly as he found her. In viewing the video he stated that he was happy with his mount throughout as she had a good position and jumped well. He added that on entering the final circuit he sat as he did not want to rush her. He pointed out that about three furlongs out his mount was impeded by a loose horse and from that point he allowed her to increase her pace. He felt that he had got his best placing having been instructed not to use the whip on her as she had been difficult to get to the track, this being her second run ever having been in training for two years

James Grace, trainer, confirmed the instructions and stated that he had further instructed the rider not to use the whip as he had previously trained the dam and found her to be difficult. He was satisfied with the ride. The Stewards also received a report from the Irish Horseracing Regulatory Board Veterinary Officer who stated that Go Gill Go had a slight nasal discharge and was having a good blow post race. Samples were taken for analysis

Having viewed the recording of the race and considered the evidence, the Stewards noted the explanations and advised P.K. Donovan concerning his responsibility to be seen to make more of a substantial effort even when instructed not to use the whip. .
