Coen, Gekkota (FR), ridden by J.G. Gilligan, and Minority Interest, ridden by E.M. O'Sullivan where it appeared Gekkota clipped a heel and came down. Evidence was heard from the riders concerned. A. Leahy said he got a bit tight for room. C.M. Hogan said although he did not receive contact he did get pressure from his outside causing him to tighten the horse on his inner. J. Coen said he rode a wide line approaching the bend and left his mount drift in a little but thought he had left enough room. J.G. Gilligan said he got tight from both sides and clipped a heel. E.M. O'Sullivan said he received pressure from his outside causing him to check. Having viewed the recording of the race and considered the evidence, the Raceday Stewards found J. Coen was in breach of Rule 214 in that he had ridden carelessly and having considered his clean record in this regard, the Raceday Stewards suspended him for five racedays.
