Photo shows presentation at Killimer Kilrush / South Clare after Boglane Swift won the South Clare Derby Reserve Trial Stake there. He is now second reserve for the BoyleSports Derby at the 2020 National Meeting.
At the 2020 National Coursing Meeting there will be two Consolation Stakes.
The Kitty Butler Stakes for 16 bitches eliminated in the first round of the Oaks.
The T.A. Morris Stakes for 16 dogs eliminated in the first round of the Derby.
In the event of these stakes not being filled by those eliminated from the first round of the Oaks/Derby the remaining places will be allocated to reserves in the Oaks/Derby which did not get called to run in those stakes.
These reserves must have run a non-competitive course at the end of the first round of the Oaks/Derby.
A new draw will be made to determine which reserves are to receive the remaining places in the Consolation Stakes and which reserves are to be listed as Reserves A,B,C and D for the Consolation Stakes.
The draw for the Consolation Stakes will then take place.
