----
The Chairman had Mr Allison read the Rule and those present acknowledged they understood same.
----
Stipendiary Steward Mr J Muirhead demonstrated and interpreted films of the alleged incident. These films clearly showed Mr Abernethy angle his horse out prior to the 1000 metre Mark forcing CLINTON’S MAID wider on the track.
----
Mr Abernethy when given the opportunity did not wish to give his interpretation of the films shown nor did he have any questions of Mr Muirhead.
----
Mr Jones when asked by Mr Allison said he was trailing up and Mr Abernethy forced him 4 wide. Mr Fergusson on Mr Jones behalf said Mr Abernethy had clearly pushed out prior to the 1000 metre mark, thus forcing CLINTON’S MAID over extra ground and gained an advantage by running in an outside position instead of 4 back on the fence.
----
Mr O’Brien for his part said it was unfortunate that Mr Abernethy’s horse was pulling and Mr Abernethy had elected to come out when he did, in his opinion it was very similar to the HOLMES DG incident the first pushout rule enforcement.
----
Mr Forrester had some doubt that the horse placed 2nd by the judge namely CLINTON’S MAID could have beaten his horse STRIKING DASH.
----
Mr Abernethy for his part acknowledged he did pushout prior to the 1000 metre mark but said his horse was pulling so hard had he not moved out it could have become dangerous.
----
In summing up Mr Allison said there is no doubt that STRIKING DASH has moved out prior to the 1000 metre mark, and that the Chairman must decide whether STRIKING DASH has gained and advantage and has that horse forced CLINTON’S MAID over extra ground.
----
All parties acknowledged that they had nothing further to add and that they had a fair hearing and left the Judicial Room.
----
Prior to arriving at a decision the Chairman carefully considered all of the evidence both verbal and the films shown to him.
----
He then considered had STRIKING DASH gained an advantage over other horses or was it just the horse CLINTON’S MAID placed 2nd by the judge, the answer to that question was it was just CLINTON’S MAID.
----
STRIKING DASH had clearly moved out prior to the 1000 metre mark forcing CLINTON’S MAID over extra ground and secured a better run for itself. The margin between the two horses at the finish was only ¾ length.
----
The Chairman exercised his discretionary power and placed STRIKING DASH immediately behind CLINTON’S MAID as that horse had clearly gained in excess of ¾ length.
----
When asked, the Stipendiary Stewards said they did not wish to charge any horseman involved in the incident.
