That is unbelievable as I never thought I'd experience it,. I have the license a long time and have had a few placed horses down through the years but breaking and pre-training is our main gig. . We have a handful of point-to-pointers, she is the only horse we have for the track and I bred her myself. The Costellos, who have Lough Bar in Limerick city, bought her from me before she won her maiden point to point and were very good to leave her with me. They have been very good and very patient and I'm glad to repay them with a winner. She won two point to points well but for whatever reason, we couldn't get it together on the track. We have now though and this is local to us and to the owners so is great. She was up distance and down in grade today and probably handled the ground better than others. She is a strong mare and is very versatile with ground and trip. She might come back here during Christmas. John Gerard Bennett, trainer

The Raceday Stewards interviewed John J Hanlon, Trainer, upon a request to substitue P. Hanlon for S. Cleary- Farrell as his intended mount was a non runner. John J Hanlon stated that originally P. Hanlon had been declared on a more fancied mount which became a non runner and he wished to switch him to his charge. The Raceday Stewards denied the request as it did not conform to the provisions of Regulation 3
