The two lads in front went an unmerciful gallop, but Paul had told me to ride my own race if there was a lot of pace on and things worked out well. He had a good look when he got to the front but did it well in the end. It was my first time riding for Paul and that's my 7lb claim gone. It got very wet in Roscommon and I probably shouldn't have run him on that ground. The 2m5f probably just stretched him there as well. I really fancied him today and they went a real good gallop over this trip which suited him. He's won at Kilbeggan and now here and was unlucky at Killarney where he hit the rail, and he likes that type of track. The owners had Moon Dice with me and they'll probably be keen to go to Galway, so we probably will head there. He should make a good chaser in time. Paul W Flynn, trainer
The Irish Horseracing Regulatory Board Veterinary Officer examined Staging Post, trained by Mark Michael McNiff, at the request of the Raceday Stewards and reported the animal to have lost it's left fore shoe and to be blowing hard post race
The Raceday Stewards requested a report from Paul W. Flynn, trainer as to the apparent improvement in form of The Big Chap, placed first, as compared with its recent form. Paul W. Flynn stated that today's better ground, a drop back in trip and a change of tactics may have helped bring about today's improvement in form. Having considered the evidence, the Raceday Stewards noted the content of the report.
