I think if the winner wins by a shorter margin, it would be reversed. And in England no question it keeps the race, in Ireland tho I think it generally depends on what the stewards had backed. Agree with lustrumm Ive seen funny reversals in Ireland and galway in particuar.

It's not just Irish Racing, the English stewards throw nothing out either. The situation is now a joke, seems far less get thrown out since bookmakers pay double result.......

The Stewards enquired into possible interference in the closing stages involving Chief Suspect, ridden by S. Foley, placed fourth, Ducky Mallon, ridden by J.A. Heffernan, placed third, Henson (GB), ridden by F.M. Berry, placed second and Antique Platinum, ridden by P.J. Smullen, placed first, where it appeared that Henson (GB) had received interference from Antique Platinum when delivering his challenge in the closing stages. Evidence was heard from the riders concerned. Having viewed the recording of the race and considered the evidence, the Stewards made no alteration to the Judge's placings and took no further action.

The Stewards received a report from the Clerk of the Scales, I. Hamilton, that Adrian O'Shea, rider of Dudes And Diamonds (GB), had weighed in 1.9lbs above the required weight. Evidence was heard from the rider concerned who stated that he drank water after weighing out as he was dehydrated. Having considered the evidence, the Stewards were satisfied that A. O'Shea was in breach of Rule 231 and suspended him for 1 raceday.
19th july curragh The Stewards received a report from Mr. P.L. Malone , Turf Club Clerk of the Scales, regarding the fact that J.P. O'Brien, rider of Tapestry, weighed in at 1.6 lbs overweight. Evidence was heard from the rider concerned, who stated that he had taken a drink of water at the start and also that his mount sweated up due to the delayed start which may have accounted for the overweight on his return. Having considered the evidence, the Stewards accepted the explanation offered and took no further action. it's not who you know its who your related too that counts |

If ever there was a case of a pocket talking thread then this is it, it was the second horse who caused all the problems going for a gap that wasn't there.
POCKET TALKERS. |

smullen caused the initial problem hampering the 3 horses on his inside ,fran berry then added to the problen by going for a that was not there nearly uptting henson over the rails in doing so , and the stewards caused the biggest problem by letting both jockeys get away scot free, and i did not have a bet so no pocket talk here
