Cian only lives 200 yards down the road and that’s his first winner at Thurles. He was off for six months after breaking his leg in Listowel and I think he’s only back a few weeks so it’s great to get him a winner. It was an ideal opportunity after his last two runs. I know he’s a nine-year-old but he’s improving all the time and is only coming to himself this year. We’ll probably find a handicap for him down the line and maybe a bit further would suit. He goes on all ground and seems to handle that well. All options are open for him. This race was for trainers who hadn’t 20 winners over jumps last year and it’s great to be able to get a race like that. Timothy Doyle, trainer
The Raceday Stewards enquired into possible interference jumping the last hurdle involving An Peann Dearg, ridden by J.P. O'Sullivan, placed fourth and Gabriel Ranger, ridden by M.P. O'Connor, placed fifth, where it appeared that An Peann Dearg landed right causing interference to Gabriel Ranger. Evidence was heard from the riders concerned. M.P. O'Connor stated that his mount suffered interference at the last causing him to loose momentum before battling back in the closing stages to within a short-head of Gabriel Ranger. He concluded by stating that he felt the interference had cost him a better finishing position. J.P.O'Sullivan stated that his mount landed right despite his best efforts, but felt he had not improved his finishing position as a result of the incident
Having viewed the recording of the race and considered the evidence, the Raceday Stewards were of the opinion that An Peann Dearg had caused interference albeit it accidental to Gabriel Ranger and as a result of this interference had improved it’s finishing position. As a consequence, the Raceday Stewards reversed the placings of both horses. Amended result: First: Answering Second: Toor Khov Third: Arion Soilder Fourth: Gabriel Ranger Fifth: An Peann Dearg Sixth: Dreamz Furthermore, the Raceday Stewards were satisfied that no riding offence had occurred and that no further action was warranted.
