In touch with leaders, chased clear leader from over 1f out, no impression inside final furlong, jockey dropped hands towards finish, lost second final stride (stewards interviewed jockey concerning his riding in final 100yds where he appeared to ease his mount without good reason possibly costing him second place; evidence was heard from rider concerned who stated that he put down his whip and just rode hands and heels to the line; however, he accepted under questioning that his riding did appear to get more vigorous in final two strides when eventual second came alongside him; having viewed the recording and considered the evidence, stewards found rider was in breach of R212A(iv)(a) by failing to achieve best possible placing having eased his riding and having considered his clean record, they suspended him for seven days and ordered him to forfeit his riding fee) (op 6/4)
