We've no real plans now as we just wanted to get today out of the way and to get a win over hurdles. It was a weak enough race and we'll just have to see now where we take her from here. We've been waiting for the rain for her all summer — it came a bit there tonight and Listowel is a possibility for her I'd suppose. We'll see how she comes out of that and we might keep her to mares races if we can. Eamonn O'Connell, trainer

Under the provisions of Rule 90 (iii), the Stewards allowed Bluegrass Princess, trained by Eamonn O'Connell, to run on receipt of the trainer's written assurance that the horse was correctly vaccinated in accordance with Rule 91

The Stewards enquired into an incident the closing stages involving Chosen Flower, ridden by J.P. O'Sullivan and Milomynit, ridden by D. Robinson, where it Milomynit ran short of room on the rail and was checked. Evidence was heard from the riders concerned. Having viewed the recording of the race and considered the evidence, the Stewards were of the opinion that J.P. O'Sullivan was in breach of Rule 214 in that he had ridden carelessly

Having taken his previous record in this regard into account, the Stewards suspended J.P. O'Sullivan for 3 racedays

C.A. Landers, rider of Disco Musik (FR) trained by Michael J. McDonagh, reported to the Clerk of Scales that his mount was carried wide by a loose horse before the last hurdle.
