The Stewards enquired into an incident after turning into the straight involving Band Width, ridden by R.P. Whelan and Theogony, ridden by K.J. Manning, where it appeared contact was made between the 2 horses. Evidence was heard from the riders concerned. R.P. Whelan stated that his horse was green and exaggerated his movement to the left. K.J. Manning stated that he received a bump from his inner when Band Width manoeuvered out. Having viewed the recording of the race and considered the evidence, the Stewards, accepting that Band Width was green in running, found R.P. Whelan was in breach of Rule 214 in that he had ridden carelessly and having considered his record in this regard the Stewards suspended him for 1 raceday.
