Russell, rider of Golden Dart, who won the concluding event on the first day of the Westland Racing Club's meeting, was suspended for the remainder of the programme for interfering with Owlsgleam, who finished second, in the straight. This was the outcome of a complaint made by G. Humphries, rider of Owlsgleam, that Russell held one of his knees when the two horses were racing almost abreast_ about a furlong from home. Humphries stated that his mount was a neck in front at the time, but in a few strides she was a_ neck from Golden Dart and he considered the interference cost him the race. Russell denied touching Humphries, hut stated that owing to his mount boring in, he put his hand against Owlsgleam's wither in order to separate the pair so that he could command the use of his whip.
