There was a 78/1 treble at Dundalk for Chris Hayes when Schoolboy Error landed the Irishinjuredjockeys.com Handicap for the Shane Nolan yard.

Hayes was earlier victorious aboard Richard O'Brien's Oneoveryou and Fozzy Stack's Harvestfortheworld and here he got 9/1 chance Schoolboy Error home by three parts of a length from joint favourite Easy Boy (9/2).

The other market leader, Noble Intention (9/2), was half a length back in third.

"He's been running well enough. He got a run on Robbie the last day when he just broke too well and Chris did well to get him settled tonight," said Nolan.

"Hopefully there will be another day in him. He missed a year, when he was off with a leg injury, but touch wood it all seems to be good now and we'll keep him going."

R.P. Cleary, rider of Lamh Ar Lamh trained by J. S. Bolger, reported to the Clerk of Scales that his mount had to check going up the straight.

The Stewards enquired into the running and riding of Sbraase (GB), ridden by D.W. O'Connor, and trained by J.F. Levins.

Evidence was heard from the rider and trainer concerned. D.W. O'Connor, stated that he was instructed to break smart, get in amongst horses, to keep his mount interested and to run as best as possible.

He added that from draw 14 he broke slowly and therefore had to ride at the rear of the field, maintaining this position to the turn in to the home straight, but inside the final furlong, having passed tired horses, his mount levelled out and found no more in the closing stages.

In his opinion his mount was nongenuine.

J.F. Levins confirmed the instructions given to the rider, but felt that his charge had little interest in racing and despite changing his training routine, running him over various trips from 6 furlongs to 1 and a half miles and applying headgear, he has been unable to ignite his enthusiasm.

In his opinion had the horse run genuinely he would have been placed.

Evidence was also heard from Gary O' Gorman, Irish Horseracing Regulatory Board Senior rules of racing handicapper.

The Stewards also received a report from the Irish Horseracing Regulatory Board Veterinary Officer who stated that Sbrasse was stiff post race and also coughed while being examined.

Having viewed the recording of the race and considered the evidence, the Stewards noted the explanations offered.
