The Stewards interviewed J.A. Heffernan, rider of Order Of Australia, concerning his use of the whip in the latter stages of this race. Evidence was heard from the rider concerned. In his evidence he stated that his mount had lost a near fore shoe at the start of this race and was leaning to the right throughout. He advised the Stewards that this animal is not a straight forward ride and the whip was used a number of times for corrective purposes. Having viewed a recording of the race and considered the evidence the Stewards were satisfied that some use of the whip was for corrective purposes and therefore did not find J.A. Heffernan in breach of R10(3). Mr. P. Law absented himself from this enquiry.
