    An enquiry was held to consider interference approximately 2 furlongs out involving ESHAADA, placed third, ridden by Jim Crowley, the winner, FREE WIND (IRE), ridden by Robert Havlin and KAWIDA, unplaced, ridden by Neil Callan. Havlin was suspended for 5 days for careless riding as he persisted and committed for his run into an insufficient gap which was only briefly viable between the running rail and ESHAADA, causing considerable interference to ESHAADA and KAWIDA, and resulting in FREE WIND (IRE) turning ESHAADA's hind quarters, which in turn caused both fillies to become severely unbalanced.

    Waste of time Havlin appealing as they wont admit they got it wrong and Havlin could be represented by Nass!

    Hang on - this is General Melchett logic. When there's a viable gap, the jockey can't reasonably be expected to predict the duration of its viability. It may well be that, having won the race anyway, they'll bite the bullet, but I don't think this is right. Does Nass still do no-win-no-fee ?

    You'd have Havlin at very short odds to get the ban overturned wouldn't you?

    The right result. The surprise must be that no comment was made about Crowley's riding.
