The Stewards enquired into possible interference in the closing stages involving Walnut Beach, ridden by G.B. Noonan, placed first, and Halsafari, ridden by C.M. Quirke, placed second, where it appeared interference may have occurred. Evidence was heard from the riders concerned. C.M. Quirke stated that he had to check his mount. G.B. Noonan stated that he taught he was clear of the second horse and was looking for the better ground. Having viewed the recording of the race and considered the evidence, the Stewards were of the opinion that while Walnut Beach had caused interference to Halsafari, he did not improve his finishing position as a result of this interference so they made no alteration to the Judge’s placings. They were, however, of the opinion G.B. Noonan, 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 one raceday.
