The Stewards interviewed Mr D. Maxwell, rider of Pipewort, concerning his use of the whip in this race. 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), having used the whip unnecessarily when his chance had gone and having considered his clean record, suspended him for two race days. Furthermore the rider was advised to familiarise himself with the regulations regarding use of the whip. The Turf Club Veterinary Officer examined He's A Gent, trained by Alan Fleming, at the request of the Stewards and reported the animal to be distressed post race. Miss K. Harrington, rider of Twinkletoes trained by Mrs John Harrington, reported to the Clerk of Scales that her mount lost her action and was pulled up.
