Mr Barron also confirmed to the committee that his horse had caused the interference to Natural Grin.
Mr Gameson (Trainer of Natural Grin) stated that he also owned the horse and that from three back on the rails it had alot of work to do and he was unsure whether it would've been able to run a place.
