IHRB to review final-flight incident at Wexford
Trained by Byrnes' father Charles, Redwood Queen was sent off a 13-2 chance for the opening Wexford Claiming Hurdle over two miles and a furlong. The duo seemed to have the measure of 1-3 favourite Beacon Edge coming down to the last, but Byrnes appeared to become unbalanced and was unseated jumping the hurdle, allowing Beacon Edge to cruise to a 22-length win. The incident was examined by the Wexford stewards, with the report stating: 'Having viewed the recording of the race and considered the matter, the raceday stewards took no further action.' However, the IHRB confirmed on Thursday morning that the incident will be examined again. An IHRB spokesman said: 'We note the position of the raceday stewards following their review of the incident. I can confirm the matter is down for review by an IHRB senior racing official.'

Byrnes' final-hurdle unseat to be reviewed by IHRB
The Irish Horseracing Regulatory Board will review jockey Philip Byrnes' final-hurdle unseat at Wexford on Wednesday. Byrnes was leading the Wexford Claiming Hurdle on Redwood Queen, who is trained by his father Charles, heading into the final hurdle. However, Byrnes was unseated after appearing to become unstable as Redwood Queen jumped the last, which allowed 1-3 favourite Beacon Edge to win by a comfortable margin. The raceday stewards at Wexford felt no further action was required, but the Irish Horseracing Regulatory Board (IHRB) will now review the incident. A IHRB spokesperson said on Thursday: "We note the position of the raceday stewards following their review of the incident. I can confirm the matter is down for review by an IHRB senior racing official." The review will take into consideration the incident on the racecourse and other factors, such as betting patterns of the race. Redwood Queen had drifted from 7-2 to 13-2 in the betting odds, and was running at 1/7 in-play at the time of the fall. Latest horse racing results
