Hellyer who indicated that his horse did come into close proximity with the Clerk of the Course’s horse, however he did not believe that the horse had been kicked. As a result of this incident, he did, when arriving at the barriers, ask the Clerk of the Course to inspect PANTALETTES and as no apparent evidence was found that the horse had been kicked, and as he was satisfied that the horse had paraded well to the barriers, he took the matter no further .

After this race the track was upgraded to a Dead (5).
