Mr Downey was reminded of his obligations and he was also spoken to in regard to the manner he conducted himself in the initial stages of the inquiry.

When questioned regarding the performance Ms Chilcott advised that the mare had paced well over the early stages before she activated the hopple shorteners near the 1,200 metres, with FERRITTS SISTER then pacing roughly for the remainder of the event. She further stated that she would be having the mare fully vetted in the coming days and will advise Stewards should anything untoward surface.
