Geoghegan, rider of Brilliant Question, concerning his use of the whip in the closing stages of this race where it appeared he struck his mount a number of strides after the finish line. Evidence was heard from the rider concerned. R.P. Geoghegan accepted he was in breach of the regulation and apologised for his actions. Having viewed a recording of the race and considered the evidence the Raceday Stewards found R.P.
