Honestly, a quality filly. The Belgian chap has done a great job with her (on her back). I don't know what to say - I'm shellshocked, but I did fancy her. I did like the mare and she was working great. I believe in a lot of these sprints - and we won it last year - are all in the break. She was jumping out with the one (Eclairage) in the last race even though she is a four-year-old. Last night I sent young James the video of Dun Na Sead last year and I said that he had to do exactly the same. He did it and he didn't panic. He kept a little bit for the last 100 yards. I'm delighted for him, he is a good jockey and a nice kid too. We've had a disappointing year, but they are coming right now. The season is a bit too short!. We are off to the Horses in Training Sale next week and let's see if we can pick up a few. She is staying around for sure. She will be a nice mare next year and I could even travel with her I'd say, she likes firm ground. Daniel James Murphy, trainer
A.J. Slattery, rider of Powerful Nation, trained by Andrew Slattery, reported to the Clerk of the Scales that his mount got pressured from his outside going to the bend
D.P. McDonogh, rider of Lady With The Lamp, trained by Joseph Patrick O'Brien, reported to the Clerk of the Scales that his mount was badly interfered with after a furlong
The Raceday Stewards enquired into an incident shortly after a furlong involving Albasheer, ridden by Hollie Doyle, placed fifth, Over The Blues, ridden by C.T. Keane, unplaced, Powerful Nation, ridden by A.J. Slattery, placed second, and Lady With The Lamp, ridden by D.P. McDonogh, unplaced, where it appeared numerous horses came close together. Evidence was heard from the riders concerned. D.P. McDonogh stated that he started receiving pressure from his outside before the bend and was sandwiched between horses. A.J. Slattery stated that he got a bump from his outside on approach to the bend which set his mount alight and he ended up in the middle of horses. Hollie Doyle stated that she tucked in behind Over The Blues and gave Powerful Nation a little bump but she took back out of the gap. C.T. Keane stated that he kept a straight line. Having viewed the recording of the race and considered the evidence, the Raceday Stewards did not apportion blame to any rider and took no further action.
