The Stewards held an enquiry under Rule (B)11.6 into possible interference on the run to the line. Having heard their evidence and viewed recordings of the race they found that the winner, CENTORIA (IRE), ridden by Tom O’Brien, had interfered with HAZEL BROOK, placed second, ridden by Sam Twiston-Davies, and that the interference had improved CENTORIA (IRE)’s placing. They placed HAZEL BROOK first and CENTORIA (IRE) second. The Stewards found O’Brien in breach of Rule (B)54.1 and guilty of careless riding in that he allowed his mare to drift right. They suspended him for 4 days as follows: Wednesday 25, Thursday 26, Friday 27 and Saturday 28 September 2013.
