An investigation was held into the breaking of this horse as it was perceived that it may have baulked at the whip of Junior Driver D. Ferguson on TORBJORN. A post race veterinary examination revealed no marks on FORFEATHERS's head. Driver J. Stormont advised that the horse had shied away from the noise from a dust sheet being struck. | |
