The Raceday Stewards enquired into possible interference in the closing stages involving Rosscarbery (GER), ridden by W.J. Lee, placed first, and Azazat, ridden by C.D. Hayes, placed second, where it appeared that Rosscarbery shifted left in the closing stages. Evidence was heard from the riders concerned. C.D. Hayes stated that his mount was closing on the winner when receiving a slight bump causing his mount to change legs and loose ground on the run to the line, which he felt may have cost him the race. W.J. Lee stated that his mount moved left in the closing stages making slight contact with the runner-up. He further added that he felt the incident had no bearing on the result and that he won with plenty in hand. Having viewed the recording of the race and considered the evidence, the Raceday Stewards were of the opinion that while Rosscarberry had caused interference to Azazat she did not improve her finishing position as a result of this interference so they made no alteration to the Judge’s placings. Furthermore, the Raceday Stewards were satisfied that no riding offence had occurred and they therefore took no further action.
