    That was a messy race. Only excuse for ORBISON is that he didn't get to the lead early enough but turned it in some way out!

    RP -

    MYSTERY surrounded an eyecatching gamble and subsequent stewards' withdrawal of Like A Diamond at Ballinrobe on Monday night after officials announced they were concerned the three-year-old was not in the care of his stated trainer.

    An unraced gelding, Like A Diamond was initially priced up at 50-1 by bookmakers before he was rapidly shortened, reaching a low of 11-4 with Paddy Power for the 1m1f maiden, in which he was due to be ridden by Wayne Lordan.

    The stewards received a report from Chris Gordon, Turf Club senior security officer, who stated Like A Diamond was not trained at the registered licensed premises of Sharon Dunphy at Drish, Thurles, County Tipperary but at another premises in the neighbourhood.

    Evidence was heard from Dunphy which included her acceptance of Gordon's report into the matter.

    Evidence was also heard from groom Fabian Burke, who had entered the racecourse stables on a temporary pass to work for Dunphy last night.

    Having considered the report and the subsequent evidence and in particular the admission by Dunphy that Like A Diamond was not trained from her licensed training establishment as required by rule 147 (vi), the stewards ordered the horse's withdrawal and referred the matter to the Turf Club.

    The gamble was described as "a bit funny" by Liam Glynn of Boylesports, who said: "We inserted it at 33-1 this morning and we had quite significant support all morning and were forced to go 16-1, then 10s, 7s and I think we got as low as 3-1.

    "It came across as a genuine gamble, this wasn't just a bookies' move, although it was a bit funny as the trainer had not had a winner since St Stephen's Day [December 26]."
