The Stewards interviewed Rachael Blackmore, rider of Classic Theatre, concerning her use of the whip in closing stages of this race. Evidence was heard from the rider concerned. Having viewed a recording of the race and considered the evidence, the Stewards found Rachael Blackmore to be in breach of Regulation 10.3(f) in that she used her whip with excessive frequency and Regulation 10.4 in that she failed to give her mount time to respond to the whip. Having considered her record in this regard, the Stewards suspended Rachael Blackmore for 5 race days and ordered her to attend RACE for 1 days tuition on the correct use of the whip.
