The John Feane-trained Ano Manna was disqualified after winning the tote.ie Handicap following the discovery that stable companion Indigo Five had mistakenly run in place of the three-year-old filly.
The horse thought to have been Ano Manna had run out a convincing winner under Leigh Roche, but some 20 minutes after the race had finished it was discovered that the identity of the horse was in fact the four-year-old filly Indigo Five, who had been due to run in the concluding 1m3f maiden at 5:20.
The stewards used their powers under rule 226 to amend the result. The race was awarded to 10-1 shot Bang Po, trained by Ross O'Sullivan and ridden by Donagh O'Connor. Ano Manna was declared to be a non-runner.
Paddy Power announced they were paying out on Ano Manna and also settling on the official result.
The last incident of this sort in Ireland was when the Jessica Harrington-trained Alizarine was disqualified from a two-year-old maiden at the 2021 Galway festival when it was discovered the three-year-old filly Aurora Princess had mistakenly run in her place.

He said to Racing TV: "It's human error. I was unfortunately delayed getting to the races. I was stuck in traffic and got here ten minutes late. I have apologised to the owners, this has cost everyone money. The wrong horse was tacked up and I noticed the error immediately when I arrived in the stable yard. ..... At point-to-points we scan every horse before they go into the parade ring. Maybe in the future it might help trainers and stable staff if that was brought in at race meetings, instead of just scanning the winner after the race.
If he spotted the error in the stable yard was this after the race... presumably.
The vets want to get their act together and clean up the game

In Britain the horses are scanned before the race. but even then, they do it too early, which is how Aidan O'Brien managed to run the wrong horse three years ago. The only way to do it properly is the way they do it at Newton Abbot, where you can see each one being scanned exactly as it enters the parade ring.
If Feane is correct, and Irish racing waits until after the race is run to do so, it's frankly beyond belief.
Also, I'd like to know whether they scan every runner in Ireland, and not just the ones in the winner's enclosure. Just how many of those 000- horses that get backed down to favourite over there have really been running in the races the Form Book says they were.

back in the day when I was leading up (nearly 30 years), the horse was checked for first time at the races. And if the chip wouldn't read they would check the book the old fashioned way. But I don't remember getting checked going into the ring.
I don't know what its like now, but I fully believe Freane when he says they are not checked going into the ring.

IHRB need a good kick up the jacksie and get their house in order.
Showing at the moment that they are not capable of being in charge of the petty cash, let alone a sport in which we genuinely are world leaders.

I'm going to play devil's advocate here. Maybe this was a nice touch. The stewards were obviously going to be lenient with the trainer as he delegated someone else to saddle the horse. He would have surely been punished heavily if he had saddled up himself. Meanwhile the horse was well backed and most bookmakers, on course and in the shops, would have already paid out by the time the stewards objected, 20 minutes later. 3k was probably a p1ss in the ocean when compared with the bookies' pay out. Whether or not it was a touch, it shouldn't remain a possibility in future, (unless I'm in on it.)

Yes it very well might have been @driver2, and fair play to them if they pulled it off like that.
The issue is that the stewards/vets/authority in Ireland are completely clueless, and events in the last few months show that they are incompetent.

Indigo Five is/was a maiden rated 62. Hardly one ripe for deliberately lining up as a ringer. If it had that much in hand, they could have landed a legitimate punt!

There are a couple of coincidences that smell. They sent 2 horses that look alike to Killarney and the trainer was conveniently delayed getting there. I don't buy it.

I think the WFA is only 3lbs between a 3 yo and a 4yo over 1m at this time of year and Indigo Five actually carried 2lbs more than it's own h'cap mark, which virtually cancels that out. As Indigo Five won easily by nearly 3 lengths means that Indigo Five should go up about 5lbs in future, correct me if i'm wrong.

I get your point Driver but on previous recent form i could make Ano Manna 7/2 fav but Indigo Five would have been a 6/1 shot or bigger, unless of course the trainer was aware that Indigo Five was much better than it's mark from a week previously.

It makes absolutely no sense, as the horse is better than 62 on yesterday's evidence. So why would you waste that opportunity, to cheat in a way that you know will be discovered if you pull it off. A total nonsense theory.

I'm inclined to believe the trainer's story after watching his interview. He stated that all runners are scanned into the parade ring at point to points there, apparently not under rules, which is quite bizarre.

I think that it was a genuine mix up... the betting will tell if there was a punt on it and nothing seems to have emerged.
However it does show that others can run a ringer, finish down the field, get handicapped off a string of duck eggs and set up the gamble for when the real horse runs. And they know the horse won't be checked.
The integrity of the sport, or lack of it including drug misuse/wrong horses declared/feed contamination, is amongst the issues for Irish racing at the moment.

H'capper has ignored that run when disqualified and gets to run from his initial mark of 62 in the 4.40 Curragh, would appear well h'capped on that run, we'll see.

n1 stewarts. Yes, I think it was perfectly obvious that the horse had a fair bit in hand of its official mark. Quite lucky to be left alone, but I'm not complaining.
