The Raceday Stewards enquired into an incident in the home straight involving Joupe, ridden by J.A. Heffernan, placed second, and Star Image (GB), ridden by B.M. Coen, placed sixth, where it appeared there may have been contact between both horses. Evidence was heard from the riders concerned. B.M. Coen stated that his race was run when Joupe, who was racing on his outside edged across giving him a slight bump. J.A. Heffernan, stated that his filly did drift right, but felt she was clear at the time. Having viewed the recording of the race and considered the evidence, the Raceday Stewards found that J.A. Heffernan was in breach of Rule 214 in that he had ridden carelessly and having considered his record, they cautioned him on this occasion.
