Rachael Blackmore, rider of Lizzies Way trained by Stephen Ryan, reported to the Clerk of Scales that her mount stopped quickly and was pulled up. The Stewards enquired into the apparent improvement in form of Coole Craft, trained by Jonathan Fogarty, placed first, compared with its recent run at Thurles over 2 miles 6 furlongs on the 9th February. Evidence was heard from Dan Doyle, Authorised representative of Jonathan Fogarty who stated that this animal was reported by the rider to his trainer to have hung badly during the race at Thurles and subsequently was examined at home the next morning by Tom Hore M.R.C.V.S who found him to be very lame of his near fore shoulder which necessitated exercise on the horse walker for about one week. Mr Doyle added that blinkers were reapplied today over the minimum distance of two miles to help sharpen up the animal. Evidence was also heard from Andrew Shaw, Turf Club N.H. Handicapper. Having considered the evidence the Stewards were of the opinion that the provisions of Rule 213 had not been complied with and consequently referred the matter to the Referrals Committee .
