Having viewed a recording of the race and considered the evidence the Raceday Stewards were satisfied that D. J.

The Raceday Stewards interviewed M.P. O'Connor, rider of Life In The Park, concerning his use of the whip in the closing stages of this race. Evidence was heard from the rider concerned who accepted that he was in breach of the regulation and apologised for his actions.

O'Connor was in breach of Regulation 10.3.g, excessive frequency, and having considered his record in this regard (fourth offence) the Raceday Stewards suspended M. P. O'Connor for sixteen racedays

The Raceday Stewards enquired into the circumstances surrounding the fact that Mister Policeman, trained by W
