The Irish Horseracing Regulatory Board Veterinary Officer examined The Big Chap, trained by Paul W. Flynn, at the request of the Stewards and reported the animal to be post race normal. Samples were taken for analysis
The Stewards enquired into the running and riding of The Big Chap, ridden by L.P. Dempsey, and trained by Paul W. Flynn. Evidence was heard from the rider and trainer concerned. L.P. Dempsey, stated that he was instructed to drop in about three quarters the way back in the field, get his mount settled, creep into the race and get him to finish as best as possible. He explained that his mount was flat out in the race which was run at a strong gallop and was very green everywhere, running around both to the left and right. He added that he was unable to improve his position as he was jumping indifferently. In his opinion his mount maintained the same speed throughout the entire race and only passed tired horses in the finish. Paul W. Flynn, confirmed the riding instructions and added that he rides this animal out himself as he can be very sharp and at times he has to sit tight. He expressed his satisfaction with the ride and felt that he should improve with fitness having lost a weeks exercise as a result of a stone bruise
He felt that his charge was racing against some experienced horses. In his opinion he thought that his charge would make a staying chaser. The Stewards also received a report from the Irish Horseracing Regulatory Board Veterinary Officer who stated that The Big Chap was post race normal. Having viewed the recording of the race and considered the evidence, the Stewards noted the explanations of both the trainer and rider but reminded L.P
Dempsey concerning his responsibility to be seen to make a greater effort in the future.
