B.M. Coen, rider of Inca Prince trained by C.W.J. Farrell, reported to the Clerk of Scales that his mount stood in the stalls when the gates opened

The Stewards enquired into an incident inside the two furlong pole involving Probe (GB), ridden by C.T. Keane, placed first and The Blue Panther, ridden by G.F. Carroll, placed fourth, where it appeared that Probe(GB) may have caused interference when delivering his challenge. Evidence was heard from the riders concerned. In his evidence, G.F. Carroll stated that Probe (GB) arrived on his inner travelling well and he was trying to hold his racing line but unable to hold his position before fading to finish fourth. C.T. Keane stated that he was travelling well when a small gap appeared at the time that The Blue Panther was holding him in. He felt that the straight had two small bends which over exaggerated the situation. Having viewed the recording of the race and considered the evidence, the Stewards were of the opinion that C.T. Keane was in breach of Rule 214 by riding carelessly. Having taken his previous record into consideration, the Stewards suspended C.T. Keane for one raceday The Stewards informed Garry Davis, Authorised representative for C.W.J. Farrell, trainer, that his charge Inca Prince may be liable to a suspension if he repeats todays behaviour where he failed to take part in this race when the stalls opened.
