Grant suspension

The Stewards enquired into possible interference early in the home straight involving She's Our Mark (GB), ridden by Danny Grant, placed third, Gist, ridden by Niall McCullagh, placed fourth and Queen Jock (USA), ridden by Pat Shanahan, unplaced where it appeared Gist suffered interference and had to check.

Evidence was heard from the riders concerned. Having viewed the video of the race and considered the evidence, the Stewards were of the opinion that while interference did occur the third placed horse hadn't improved her finishing position in relation to the fourth placed horse as a result of this interference and so they made no alteration to the judges' placings.

They were however, of the opinion Danny Grant had ridden carelessly, and having taken his record in this regard into account, they suspended him for 3 racedays (tbc)
