The Stewards interviewed R. Loughran, rider of Dont Stop, concerning his use of the whip after the third last fence. Evidence was heard from the rider concerned. Having viewed a recording of the race and considered the evidence, the Stewards were of the opinion that the rider was in breach of Regulation 10.3 (b) the unnecessary hitting of a horse after its chance of winning or being placed is clearly gone.
