to be fair to her she has been running consistent enough. We just said we would claim the seven (pounds) off her, Jordan has a bit of experience with the point-to-points. He rides out for us and he works for us, so he deserves his chance. He's local to us and is based with me - he works for me seven days a week. He has done loads of schooling at home. He will probably stay point-to-pointing for the year and then maybe change over (to conditional) because he is very light. He kind of got caught down at the bottom (of the hill) but it worked out grand and she stayed going up the hill. We'll maybe come back here with her for the next meeting (in October) and then we'll give her a break. Colin Bowe, trainer

The Stewards enquired into possible interference in the closing stages of this race involving Cushinstown Finest, ridden by Mr J.C. Gainford, placed first, Electricitywork, ridden by C. Brassil, placed third and Drumconnor Girl, ridden by Mr C. Abernethy, placed fourth, where it appeared that Cushinstown Finest and Drumconnor Girl received interference. Evidence was heard from the riders concerned. Having viewed the recording of the race and considered the evidence, the Stewards were satisfied that Electricitywork had caused interference to Drumconnor Girl which was significant enough to improve Electricitywork's finishing position in relation to Drumconnor Girl

The Stewards therefore reversed the third and fourth placings and were satisfied that C. Brassil was in breach of Rule 214 in that he had ridden carelessly. Having considered C. Brassil's record in this regard, the Stewards suspended him for 2 racedays. The amended result of this race now reads; First Cushinstown Finest, Second My Galway Girl, Third Drumconnor Girl, Fourth Electricitywork, Fifth Charlotte Wells, Sixth Long Island Jenn.
