Stewards Report

The Turf Club

Larry (GB), trained by Gary Moore, was late in the Parade Ring due to difficulty with fitting the tongue tie.

Shortly after passing the winning post on the first circuit, Enrilo (FR), placed third, shifted right carrying Plan Of Attack (IRE), placed seventh, on to the winner, Potterman (GB), causing Sam Twiston-Davies, the rider of Checkitout (IRE), which was later pulled up, to steady his mount on the rail, but after viewing a recording of the incident, it was found that no riding offence was involved and that it had not improved the placing of Enrilo (FR).

Turning out of the home straight on the final circuit, the winner, Potterman (GB), stepped right causing Irish Prophecy (IRE), which was later pulled up, to be shifted right and result in Sam Twiston-Davies, the rider of Checkitout (IRE), which was later pulled up, having to take a significant check against the rail, but after viewing a recording of the incident, it was found that no riding offence was involved and that it had not improved the placing of Potterman (GB).

An enquiry was held to consider the placings in this race after interference on the run to the line when the winner, Enrilo (FR), ridden by Harry Skelton, interfered with KITTY’S LIGHT, placed third, ridden by Jack Tudor.

The Stewards considered that the interference had improved Enrilo (FR)’s placing as KITTY’S LIGHT, who had made up significant ground having jumped the last to get within a diminishing ½ length of Enrilo (FR) at the time of the incident, had taken a significant bump and was taken off its intended line for several strides, losing all forward momentum.

Taking into account where the interference occurred in relation to the finish line, it was felt that KITTY’S LIGHT would have finished ahead of Enrilo (FR) but for the interference and therefore the placings were revised as follows: First, Potterman (GB), Second, KITTY’S LIGHT, Third, Enrilo (FR), Fourth, El Presente (GB).

Skelton was suspended for 4 days for careless riding as he allowed his mount to drift left-handed without timely correction causing interference to KITTY’S LIGHT.

Following the race, the Veterinary Officer reported that Doing Fine (IRE), which was pulled up, had bled from the nose and that Golan Fortune (IRE), which was pulled up, had an irregular heartbeat.

Harry Skelton reported that Enrilo (FR), placed third, hung left-handed after the final fence and ran green.
