He’s a mighty horse. He’s running like a four or five-year-old at the moment. We were a little afraid when the rain arrived but it’s not deep out there and he got through it. He might get an entry for Killarney on Friday, we’ll see how he is in the morning. He’s an unreal horse for a small yard like us. He’s a star and it’s great for his owner/breeder Mary O’Donnell as well. Seamus Spillane, trainer

The Stewards enquired into the running and riding of Turkestan (GB), ridden by C.A. Landers, and trained by Mark Michael McNiff. Evidence was heard from the rider and trainer concerned. C.A. Landers, stated that he was instructed to sit last and get his mount to settle but he got a bit detached as the horse in front of him could not go the early pace. He added that his mount made several mistakes early on. Mark Michael McNiff, stated that his charge can be very keen and after its previous run the rider had recommended sitting last next time out as he never settled. Furthermore he expressed his satisfaction with the ride. The Stewards also received a report from the Irish Horseracing Regulatory Board Veterinary Officer who stated that Turkestan was post race normal. Samples were taken for further analysis. Having viewed the recording of the race and considered the evidence, the Stewards noted the explanations given. Mr. Derek Pugh, Acting Steward absented himself from this enquiry

The Stewards advised Denise McCourt, Authorised representative for T.G.McCourt, Trainer of Dollar Value, that a repeat performance from their charge, who refused to line up, may render the animal liable to suspension in the future
