The Stewards interviewed C.D. Maxwell, rider of Two Shoe Tom, concerning his use of the whip in the latter stages of this race. Evidence was heard from the rider concerned. In his evidence, C.D. Maxwell admitted that he had exceeded the limit allowed for the use of the whip under the whip guidelines but explained that the first few hits were applied to stop his mount rolling off the final bend before the roadway. He added that he took a fresh hold and his mount ran straight to the finish. Having viewed a recording of the race and considered the evidence the Stewards were of the opinion that C.D. Maxwell was in breach of R10(3)(g) by using his whip with excessive frequency and R10(3)(i) by using his whip without allowing his mount at least three strides to respond. Having taken his clean previous record into consideration, the Stewards suspended C.D. Maxwell for one raceday.
