Stewards questioned driver N Williamson regarding the manner he drove after the finish of the race when using his whip on two occasions. Mr Williamson explained that the gelding had again raced greenly at this part of the track where the horses leave the course and had attempted to pull up so for safety reasons he used the whip to ensure the horse would regain focus. After considering the explanation tendered which was verified on the replays, Stewards were satisfied no further action was deemed necessary.
