The Raceday Stewards interviewed G.P. Halpin, rider of Eastmore (GB), concerning his use of the whip in the latter stages of this race. Evidence was heard from the rider concerned. In his evidence, G.P. Halpin stated his mount hung right throughout and his first hit with the whip was for corrective purposes to get him to come around the bend. Having viewed a recording of the race and considered the evidence, the Raceday Stewards were of the opinion that G.P. Halpin was in breach of R10(3)(g) by using his whip with excessive frequency. Having taken his clean previous record into consideration, the Raceday Stewards cautioned G.P. Halpin on this occasion.
