According to a representative of the judicial committee, the riders of Caius (Lance O’Sullivan) and Evelynn (Trudy Archer) said in evidence that thenchances of finishing closer had not seriously been affected. Johnson was suspended up to and including Monday after two incidents during the Second Vacation Maiden.

It was also held that Johnson allowed Pasquinelle to shift ground 300 m after the start when not sufficiently clear of Margaret Rose.
