The Raceday Stewards enquired into an incident on the approach to the last involving Bioluminescence, ridden by M.P. Walsh, placed second, and Spindleberry, ridden by P. Townend, placed first, where it appeared Spindleberry took Bioluminescence off its line. Evidence was heard from the riders concerned. M. P. Walsh stated that his mount has a tendency to jump right and followed the other horse. He added that the other horse had quickened by him and there was no interference. P.
