He apologised for his actions. Having viewed a recording of the race and considered the evidence, the Stewards were of the opinion that Mr J. Younge was in breach of R10(3)(b) by hitting his mount unnecessarily after its chance of winning or being place was clearly gone.

Coen, Pride Of Pimlico, ridden by K.J. Manning and Philly's Hope, ridden by J.J.G. Ryan, where it appeared that some of these horses received interference. Evidence was heard from the riders concerned. In his evidence, James J. Doyle stated that his mount was dropping back when caught from behind and Arch Enemy ran up onto him. J. Coen stated that his mount quickened to take a gap but ran out of room and landed on the heels of Rocket Carnival (Fr). K.J. Manning stated that his mount had nowhere to go when another horse rolled left and he caught his heel. J.J.G. Ryan stated that he went for the same gap as Arch Enemy and quickened well to get into it. Having viewed the recording of the race and considered the evidence, the Stewards took no further action other than to advise J.J.G. Ryan to ride with more awareness. At this enquiry T.G. McCourt accompanied J.J.G. Ryan and Kevin Borthwick accompanied J. Coen.
