  • Stipe Comment: When spoken to regarding the performance of ROYAL TAP rider C Johnson advised the Stewards his mount was badly affected by the very strong wind, having made contact with the running rail on a number of occasions therefore he did not persevere with the gelding over the concluding stages. Stewards requested a post-race veterinary examination of ROYAL TAP which finished in last placing with no obvious abnormalities revealed.
