The Stewards enquired into an incident turning out of the home straight involving Flying Scotsman, ridden by M.P

Walsh, placed first and Crescent Lake (GB), ridden by C.P. McNamara, unplaced, where it appeared that Cresent Lake got tight for room and hit the rails. Evidence was heard from the riders concerned. M. P. Walsh stated that his mount was slow at the flight and jumped slightly left and he then held his line back to the rail as he was not aware that a horse had gone down his inner. C. P. McNamara stated that he jumped the flight very well but did not want to go down the inner, and the horses on his outer came in and he got tight for room and hit the rail. Having viewed the recording of the race and considered the evidence, the Stewards were satisfied that M. P. Walsh was in breach of Rule 214, in that he had ridden carelessly. Having considered M. P. Walsh's record in this regard the Stewards suspended M. P. Walsh for two racedays. Furthermore, the Stewards were satisfied that C. P. McNamara was in breach of Rule 272(ii), (misleading information or false evidence). Having considered C. P. McNamara's record in this regard the Stewards reminded C. P McNamara of his responsibilities to give true and accurate evidence during enquiries and they cautioned him on this occasion.
