I'm delighted, I thought he was going to be pulled up with a mile to run. He travelled away but, when he finds nothing, he finds absolutely nothing. For once in his life he dug in and Diarmuid has given him a savage ride. I'm delighted for Diarmuid as well. We'll enjoy this because it does be a long time between drinks with him.

The Raceday Stewards requested a report from Brian M. McMahon, trainer as to the apparent improvement in form of Four Country Roads, placed first, as compared with its recent form. Brian M. McMahon, trainer stated that his charge had ran well on his previous run at this track and favours a galloping track also.

In his evidence, D. Moloney stated that his mount was responding well to the whip and he lost count in a good finish. He apologised for his actions
