I'm very pleased with that. Her best form is on soft ground but they have watered very well and she's a half-sister to Hailstone who won on fast ground and to Candy Apples who won here on fast ground. The last day she disappointed us at Killarney and I don't really know why. Maybe it was the long drive down, I don't know, if only they could talk!. She never really runs a bad race and she's bounced back today. We knew she was in very good form and she kicked her groom this morning, John Dillon, and he's in Naas Hospital. He brought her out for a pick (of grass) and I hope that eases John's pain. He got a kick in the stomach and they are keeping him in for observation. P J Prendergast, trainer

The Irish Horseracing Regulatory Board Veterinary Officer examined Poetic Light (GB), trained by G.M.Lyons, at the request of the Stewards and reported the animal to be post race normal

The Stewards requested a report from P.J.Prendergast, trainer as to the apparent improvement in form of Triple Sec, placed first, as compared with its recent form. The trainer reported that this filly started favourite last time at Killarney but ran disappointingly. A subsequent veterinary examination revealed no abnormalities but perhaps the long journey to the track that day was a factor in her poor run. Having considered the report the Stewards noted its contents.
