MAJESTIC CHALLEN - Stewards questioned driver E. Barron regarding her apparent lack of vigour and reluctance to use the whip over the concluding stages. Miss Barron explained that the mare had attempted to buck during the preliminary when she crossed her reins, and she was therefore hesitant to risk a similar reaction in the run home which could have caused the mare to break. After considering her explanation, Stewards were satisfied that her actions had not adversely affected the horse's chances of finishing in a higher placing. Notwithstanding this Miss Barron was reminded of her obligation to drive her runners out to the finish whenever circumstances permit.
