Mr J.G. Murphy, stated that his instructions were to drop his mount out and race towards the rear. He said his mount ran keen early on, made a noise at the top of the hill on both circuits and also hung during this race. He said his mount was of limited ability and although it had finished third in a Point To Point previously, it had also disappointed and pulled up on a few occasions. Daniel G. Murphy, confirmed the instructions given and expressed his satisfaction with the ride. He said his charge was of limited ability and raced towards the rear and was held up throughout in order to get home on the unfavourable ground conditions. He concluded by stating that his charge was not capable of finishing any closer. The Stewards also received a report from the Irish Horseracing Regulatory Board Veterinary Officer, who stated that Winter Fog was post race normal. Having viewed the recording of the race and considered the evidence, the Stewards were satisfied the trainer was in breach of Rule 212.A(ii) and suspended Winter Fog for a period of 42 days)
