The Raceday Stewards enquired into the start of this race, where it appeared that J.W Kennedy, rider of Boston Jury, was unseated shortly after the start of this race. Evidence was heard from the rider concerned and the IHRB Starter, Mr D. Cullen. J.W Kennedy stated that after the flag had been dropped he leaned forward to encourage his mount to move into a canter at which point his mount jinked left causing him to become unseated. Mr D. Cullen stated that he was satisfied that the flag had dropped before J.W Kennedy had become unseated. Having viewed the recording of the race and considered all the evidence, the Raceday Stewards were satisfied that a fair start had been effected and they therefore took no further action.
