Keane stated that his mount got unbalanced inside the final furlong. C.J

MacRedmond stated that his mount got sandwiched in the last one hundred yards. M.W. Hassett stated that his mount dived left when she hit the front and that he had his whip in his left hand trying his best to keep her straight

Having viewed the recording of the race and considered the evidence, the Raceday Stewards were of the opinion that while Kinda Tiny had caused interference, she did not improve her finishing position as a result of this interference so they made no alteration to the Judge’s placings. They were, however, of the opinion that M. W

Hassett, was in breach of Rule 214 in that he had ridden carelessly and having considered his record in this regard the Raceday Stewards suspended him for eight racedays. .
