It’s a great day for Conor who joined me earlier in the year. That’s the second winner he’s had for me and hopefully things will start getting into gear for him soon. A winner at the Galway Festival is great for any young jockey. Emmet Mullins, trainer

The Stewards received a report from Ms. J. Walsh , Irish Horseracing Regulatory Board Clerk of the Scales, regarding the fact that J.G. Gilligan , rider of Old Chap , presented himself to the scales 3lbs over the weight allocated to Old Chap. Evidence was heard from the rider concerned, who stated that the horse was not supposed to run as he had ran yesterday but a late decision to run left him short on time to do the weight. Having considered the evidence, the Stewards were satisfied that J.G. Gilligan was in breach of Rule 195(i) by failing in his responsibility to weight out at the correct weight. Having considered his clean previous record in this regard, the Stewards fined J.G. Gilligan €150 on this occasion. In accordance with Rule 198(vii), the Stewards allowed J.G. Gilligan to take up his mount.
