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, MAC LE COUTEAU, ridden by Adam Wedge, had interfered with CHARMING LAD (IRE), placed second, ridden by Mr Danny Burton, in that he had twice hit CHARMING LAD (IRE) over the nose with his whip. They considered that the interference had not improved MAC LE COUTEAU’s placing in that CHARMING LAD (IRE) did not lose significant momentum as a result and MAC LE COUTEAU appeared to be holding him at the line, where the winning distance was a neck. They therefore ordered the placings to remain unaltered. The Stewards found Wedge in breach of Rule (B)54.1 and guilty of careless riding. They suspended him for 1 day as follows: Thursday 30 April 2015.

Had no interest in race and could not be overturned on the rules as it stands,but I think there should be a rule change to include deliberate whip interference as I think this was penalty would be automatic place reversal.
