James Harding was suspended for 3 days for careless riding as he maneuvered left towards the rail when not sufficiently clear, causing Peck and Chadwick to be checked.

RACE 4
Permission was given for AL MUTHANA to wear a hood in the parade ring.
Having reviewed the start, the Stewards were satisfied that MAWARID had reared after the stalls had opened causing Martin Dwyer to be unseated, and accordingly the gelding was deemed a runner.
An enquiry was held to consider the placings in this race after interference on two occasions inside the final furlong when the winner ABIYAH ATHBAH, ridden by Mr David Turner interfered with DALEEL, placed third, ridden by Ella Mackenzie. The Stewards considered that the interference had improved ABIYAH ATHBAH’s placing as approaching ½ furlong out DALEEL had to be severely checked against the rail, before again having to be checked on the run to the line, which prevented Mackenzie to be able to ride a finish, before being beaten a short head and a length. On both occasions the interference had been caused by ABIYAH ATHBAH and having given consideration to the significant amount of ground and momentum lost by DALEEL the placings were revised as follows: 1st TIJAARY (FR), 2nd DALEEL (FR), 3rd ABIYAH ATHBAH. Turner was suspended for 11 days for improper riding in that approaching the ½ furlong marker he maneuvered his mount sharply left towards the rail in an attempt to block the path of DALEEL, causing considerable interference. Turner was further suspended for 2 days for careless riding in that he allowed his mount to drift left without correction causing further interference to Mackenzie.
David Turner, the rider of ABIYAH ATHBAH, placed third, was suspended for 4 days for using his whip above the permitted level from approaching 2 furlongs out.

24.08.19 Chelmsford City Racecourse
The Stewards held an enquiry into possible interference approximately 3 furlongs out. They found that BIN AL REEH, placed third, ridden by Miss Antonia Peck, interfered with the winner, AL BUSTAN, ridden by Mr Stephen Harrison, which in turn interfered with MAN OF DREAMS, unplaced, ridden by Mr D Turner. The Stewards found Miss Peck in breach of Rule (B)54.1 of the British Horseracing Authority Regulations for Arabian Horse Racing and guilty of careless riding in that she had allowed her mount to drift left-handed on the bend causing it to make contact with AL BUSTAN which was taken off its intended line and, as a consequence, MAN OF DREAMS, which was weakening, had to be checked off heels. They suspended her for 2 days on dates to be notified to her.
Mr D Turner reported that MAN OF DREAMS, unplaced, suffered interference turning in. Sophie Ralston reported that STONEHENGE, placed fifth, was outpaced in the early stages.
