Drama at Punchestown

There was controversy after the opening race at Punchestown when first-past-the-post Blueberry Boy was demoted to second after being deemed to have caused interference in the closing stages.

The Paul Stafford-trained six-year-old drifted left approaching the final flight in the INH Stallion Owners European Breeders Fund Novice Hurdle, coming very close to Mounthenry in the process.
