The Stewards interviewed M.A. Enright, rider of Stilo Blue Native, concerning his use of the whip in the 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 were of the opinion that the rider was in breach of Regulation 10.4, in that he had failed to give his mount sufficient time to respond. Having taken his previous record in this regard into account, the Stewards suspended him for one race day. M.P. Walsh, rider of Badgerfort, trained by John E. Kiely, reported to the Stewards' Secretaries that his mount was unsuited by the pace of the race, ran very free and tired quickly in the closing stages. The Turf Club Veterinary Officer examined Badgerfort, trained by John E. Kiely, at the request of the Stewards and reported the animal to be post race normal. Samples were taken for analysis.
