The Stewards enquired into an incident in the straight involving Icare Desbois (FR), ridden by Miss J. Townend, No Looking Back, ridden by Mr J.C. Barry, Lecky Watson, ridden by Mr. P.W. Mullins, and Loughglynn, ridden by Mr. E. Ohgren where it appeared horses ran short of room. Mr. Mullins stated that he was going for a narrow gap when he received pressure from his outside and also pressure from his inner and was badly hampered. Mr

Barry stated that he received pressure from the outside, got stopped and was badly hampered. Mr. Ohgren stated that he received pressure from his outside, corrected and was falling back when he received pressure from his inner. Miss Townend stated that her mount was leaning in, there was a bump and she felt the horses on her inner were going backwards. Having viewed the recording of the race and considered the evidence, the Stewards were satisfied that Miss Townend was in breach of Rule 214 in that she had ridden carelessly and having taken her record into account suspended her for four race days
