Correct weight was delayed to allow stewards to interview L. Cassidy, rider of GREEN CASHMERE, and view the footage of the start to ascertain if his mount was afforded a fair start. After viewing the patrol films and taking evidence from the starter, Mr P. Briton, it was established that GREEN CASHMERE reared as the start was effected and other than for its own actions was afforded a fair start and correct weight was declared on the Judge’s placings. Trainer B. Dais was advised that he would be required to provide 2 further barrier certificates for GREEN CASHMERE, one of which must be obtained in an official trial.
