Glynn, rider of Narynkol (GB) trained by Denis Gerard Hogan, reported to the Clerk of Scales that his mount he got his whip caught in his mounts mane while changing hands. The Stewards enquired into the running and riding of Narynkol (GB), ridden by A.M. Glynn, and trained by Denis Gerard Hogan. Evidence was heard from the rider concerned and the trainer's Authorised Representative Phil Heenan. A.M. Glynn stated that he was instructed to ride his mount handy to see how he was travelling and to do the best he could. He was happy with how his mount travelled and thought the race went well. A.M. Glynn reported to the Clerk of the Scales that he had gotten his whip caught in the horses mane and he stated that this caused him to lose his rhythm, unbalanced him and it was too late when he tried to make a challenge. Phil Heenan confirmed the instructions given to A.M. Glynn and stated that A.M. Glynn is not a strong rider and that this catches the eye, however he was satisfied with the ride given to Narynkol. The Stewards also received a report from the Irish Horseracing Regulatory Board Veterinary Officer who stated that Narynkol was post race normal. Having viewed the recording of the race and considered the evidence, the Stewards were satisfied that D.G. Hogan and A.M. Glynn were in breach of Rule 212 A (ii). Having considered the respective records in this regard, the Stewards fined D.G. Hogan 3000 Euros, suspended A.M. Glynn for 12 racedays and ordered that he forfeit his riding fee. The Stewards also suspended Narynkol for 50 days.
