The Stewards enquired into an incident in the straight involving Optimystic, ridden by W.J. Lee, unplaced and Miss Ives, ridden by S.P. Davis, who ran out and unseated. Evidence was heard from the riders concerned in the presence of James M Barrett, trainer of Miss Ives, who accompanied S.P. Davis in the Stewards room. Having viewed the recording of the race and considered the evidence, the Stewards were of the opinion that W.J.Lee was in breach of Rule 214, in that he rode carelessly and having considered his record, suspended him for seven race days.
