The Stewards interviewed S.R Markey, rider of Stepping Sandstone, concerning his use of the whip in the latter stages of this race. Evidence was heard from the rider concerned. In his evidence, S.R. Markey stated that he thought that his mount would pass a few horses. Having viewed a recording of the race and considered the evidence the Stewards were of the opinion that S.R. Markey was in breach of R10(3)(b) by using his whip unnecessarily when his chance of winning or being placed was clearly gone. Having taken his previous record into consideration, the Stewards suspended S.R. Markey for one raceday. Anthony McCann, Master of S.R. Markey, attended this enquiry.
