I feel sorry for Paul Nolan (trainer of Fitzhenry) who is a very good friend of mine. I was watching the race out on the track with Paul and I was cheering his horse on because I thought I was gone. Gordon Elliott, trainer

The Stewards requested a report from Gordon Elliott, trainer, as to the apparent improvement in form of Roaring Bull, placed first, as compared with its recent run. Gordon Elliot reported that his charge has been very inconsistent and the application of blinkers at Navan the previous day lit him up and he ran too keen. They were applied again today because of his temperament but had the desired affect when settling well throughout the race and staying on with interest in the closing stages. Having considered the evidence the Stewards noted the content of the report

J.M. Moore, rider of Killer Miller trained by Noel Meade, reported to the Clerk of Scales that his mount was pulled up having never travelled in this race

The Stewards enquired into the late withdrawal (1.23 p.m) of Blazer, trained by W.P. Mullins. The trainer stated that he was not fully satisfied with his charge when his other runners were being dispatched from his premises this morning. He sought veterinary advice and at a later stage it was determined that Blazer was not fit to run. He assured the Stewards that alternative transport was available if his charge was fit to fulfill his engagement. Having considered all the evidence, the Stewards accepted the explanation offered as being valid and remitted the fine. Mr

Justice Tony Hunt, Acting Steward, absented himself from this enquiry and Mr. Justice Frank Clarke acted as Chairman of the Acting Stewards.
