The Stewards interviewed Miss M. O'Sullivan, rider of The Names Jock, concerning her use of the whip in the latter stages of this race. Evidence was heard from the rider concerned. In her evidence, Miss M. O'Sullivan stated that she had mistakenly taken her hand off the reins to slap her mount a number of times down the shoulder which was not her regular riding style. Having viewed a recording of the race and considered the evidence the Stewards were of the opinion that Miss M. O'Sullivan was in breach of R10(3)(g) by using her whip with excessive frequency. Having taken her previous record into consideration, the Stewards suspended Miss M. O'Sullivan for two racedays.
