The Stewards received a report from P.L. Malone, Irish Horseracing Regulatory Board Clerk of the Scales, regarding the fact that K.C. Sexton, rider of Beechmount Maisie, weighed in at 1.1 lbs overweight. Evidence was heard from the rider concerned, who stated that he drank a glass of water after weighing out which may have accounted for the overweight on weighing-in. Having considered the evidence, the Stewards were satisfied that K.C. Sexton was in breach of Rule 231 (iii) and having taken extenuating circumstances into account they severely cautioned him.
