The Stewards enquired into possible interference in the closing stages involving Dancing City (FR), ridden by Mr

P.W. Mullins, placed second, and Three Card Brag, ridden by Mr. H.C. Swan, placed first, where it appeared that interference may have occurred. Evidence was heard from the riders concerned. Mr. P.W Mullins, stated that he was in front on the run to the line before receiving a bump from the winner. He further added that his mount was carried wide thereafter and felt this interference had cost him the race. Mr. H.C. Swan, stated that his mount ran green in the closing stages, but felt he was always travelling better than the runner up. Having viewed the recording of the race and considered the evidence, the Stewards were satisfied that although the winner had caused interference in the closing stages, it did not improve its finishing position and they therefore made no alteration to the Judge's placings. They were, however, satisfied that Mr. H.C. Swan was in breach of Rule 214(careless riding) and having considered his record they suspended him for one raceday
