After the running of the Fitzroy Handicap, the seventh race, an inquiry was held into interference in the last furlong by the winner, Val Pere, to the horsed inside him. The evidence showed that there was interference after Val Pere had reached the front, but it was due to the horse running in; thati Broughton had made every effort to stop him; and the happening was) accidental. The totalisator returns for the day amounted to £22,442 against £20,050 on the Saturday last year, which was the second day. This is an increase of £2392..
