The Stewards interviewed D. McMonagle, rider of Hattie Amarin, concerning his use of the whip in the last three furlongs of this race. Evidence was heard from the rider concerned. In his evidence, D. McMonagle stated that his mount was a very big filly which came off the bridle early and was leaning in behind the leader. He used his whip to get her into full stride but admitted that overall he had miscalculated his use. Having viewed a recording of the race and considered the evidence the Stewards were of the opinion that D. McMonagle was in breach of R10(3)(g) by using his whip with excessive frequency. Having taken his clean previous record into consideration, the Stewards cautioned D. McMonagle on this occasion.

Having considered the evidence the Stewards noted the content of the report.
