KYLE LOCH - Stewards spoke with driver N. Kyle regarding the manner she drove during the initial stages of the run home, in particular her apparent lack of vigour. Miss Kyle explained that her horse was travelling well at the time, and she did not consider it necessary to urge her runner further at that stage of the race. Miss Kyle added that she applied more urgency to KYLE LOCH once she became aware of PENELOPE LANE approaching to her outside, but did not believe that urging her horse earlier in the run home would have altered its finishing position. The Stewards accepted Miss Kyle's explanation and noted it accordingly.
