she was a crazy price for a mare who was the best in the race on bumper form. Her saddle slipped at Tipperary and prior to that she wasn't comfortable on the tight inside track at Punchestown. I think she's a very good mare but has had loads of problems behind and Paul Townend, who rode her at Punchestown said she was like riding a bike with square wheels. Adrian (Heskin) said she was hanging the whole way today and I think once she goes left-handed she'll be a stone better. We might look at a novice hurdle at Listowel next month if the ground is ok.

D.E. Splaine, rider of Bell's Cross trained by Patrick Breen, reported to the Clerk of Scales that his mount made bad mistakes and never travelled thereafter. The Turf Club Veterinary Officer examined One Cool Princess, trained by John J. Walsh, at the request of the Stewards and reported the animal to be lame in front post race. The Stewards interviewed K.C. Sexton, rider of Golan Native, concerning his use of the whip in the closing stages of this race. Evidence was heard from the rider concerned. Having viewed a recording of the race and considered the evidence the Stewards found K.C. Sexton in breach of Reg 10 3.(b) by using his whip after his chance of winning or being placed had gone and having taken his record into account the Stewards suspended K.C. Sexton for two race days.
