Starter G Phillips was questioned regarding the score up and his reasons for failing to declare a false start. Mr Phillips advised that he was unaware of the interference to SWEET CHEVRON which was caused by BLAZE MAGUIRE leaving the pre-race formation and was of the opinion that both horses had failed to score up of their own accord. Mr Phillips further advised that he had issues with the radio communication between himself and Stewards and had been unable to hear Stewards attempts to advise him of the interference. After considering the matter, Mr Phillips was issued with a warning for failing to declare a false start.
