The Stewards interviewed Denis Gerard Hogan, trainer, concerning the failure to nominate a rider before the designated time for Ozzie's Way. Evidence was heard from the trainer who stated that he is now operating without a riders' agent and that on this occassion, at declaration time, he mistook the number of runners he had for this evening's meeting. Having considered the evidence, the Stewards were of the opinion that D.G. Hogan was in breach of Rule 195 (i) and Regulation 3, in that he had failed to nominate a rider at the designated time. Having considered his previous record in this regard, the Stewards cautioned D.G. Hogan and reminded him of his responsibilities in this regard.
