- Fontwell, 7 February 2010
The Stewards called before them W T KENNEDY, the rider of MARLEY ROCA (IRE), placed third, and enquired into his use of the whip from approaching the second last fence. Having heard his evidence and viewed the video recording of the race, the Stewards found the rider in breach of Schedule (B)6 Part 2 in that he had used his whip with excessive frequency. They suspended him for two days as follows: Sunday 21st and Monday 22nd February 2010.

- Musselburgh, 7 February 2010
The Stewards considered the running of ZANIR (FR), ridden by S Thomas and trained by T R George, which started third favourite and finished unplaced, and having received a report that the trainer was unable to offer any explanation and in the absence of any other relevant information, they decided not to hold an enquiry. The Stewards ordered ZANIR (FR) to be routine tested.
BACKSTAGE (FR), trained by GORDON ELLIOTT, was declared to run but on inspection the record of vaccinations in the passport was found not to comply with the requirements of the Rules of Racing. The Stewards fined the trainer £560, this being his third offence within 12 months.
The Stewards noted that ALVARADO (IRE) failed to parade on the way to the start but being satisfied that the rider made every effort to do so, they took no further action.
The Stewards held an Enquiry to ascertain the condition of ULTIMATE’S reins, which had broken on the way to start and had to be replaced. Having heard evidence from Mr H Barclay, the Starter and Mr B Ellison, the trainer, and having inspected the reins, they found them to be in good condition and therefore took no further action.
The Stewards called before them JAN FALTESJEK, the rider of MELANGE (USA), which finished fourth and asked him to explain why he appeared to ease slightly after the last hurdle. He stated that he had looked round in order to see where the other runners were as his mount was beginning to get tired, but at no time did he stop asking his mount to go forward. Having heard this evidence and viewed a video recording of the race, the Stewards noted his explanation.

- Southwell, 7 February 2010
The Stewards noted that Stall 6 appeared to open fractionally early. Having received a report from the Starter and having viewed the video, the Stewards were satisfied that CONVINCE had barged the gate after the Starter had released the stalls, enabling the gelding to break quickly. As this did not constitute a false start, the Stewards took no further action.
The Stewards considered the running of INSIDE TRACK (IRE) ridden by Tony Culhane and trained by P T Midgley, who started favourite and finished second, and having received a report that the trainer was unable to offer any explanation and in the absence of any other relevant information, they decided not to hold an enquiry. The Stewards ordered INSIDE TRACK (IRE) to be routine tested.
The Stewards called before them David Probert, the rider of PREMIUM CHARGE, the winner, and enquired into his use of the whip in the straight. Having heard his evidence and viewed the video recording of the race, the Stewards found the rider in breach of Schedule (B)6 Part 2 in that he had used his whip with excessive frequency. They cautioned him as to the future use of his whip.
The Stewards called before them Andrew Heffernan, the rider of LORD’S SEAT, placed third, and enquired into his use of the whip in the straight. Having heard his evidence and viewed the video recording of the race, the Stewards found the rider in breach of Schedule (B)6 Part 2 in that he had used his whip with excessive frequency. They suspended him for 3 days as follows: Sunday 21 to Tuesday 23 February.
The Stewards held an enquiry into possible interference on the bend leaving the back straight. They found that ZAFFEU, ridden by Vince Slattery, unplaced, had interfered with BOUNDLESS PROSPECT (USA), ridden by Andrew Heffernan, the winner. They found Vince Slattery in breach of Rule (B)54.1 and guilty of careless riding in that he allowed his horse to drift left. They cautioned Vince Slattery as to his future conduct in races.
The Stewards noted that DREAM IN BLUE, placed second, had interfered with DUNASKIN (IRE), placed third, leaving the back straight, but after viewing a video recording of the incident, they were satisfied that it neither involved a riding offence nor improved DREAM IN BLUE’s placing. They therefore took no further action.
The Stewards noted that the winner, ALL GUNS FIRING (IRE), had interfered with HIGHLAND RIVER, placed second, approximately a furlong out, but after viewing a video recording of the incident, they were satisfied that it neither involved a riding offence nor improved ALL GUNS FIRING (IRE)’s placing. They therefore took no further action.
The Stewards considered the apparent improvement in form of the winner ALL GUNS FIRING (IRE) ridden by D Nolan and trained by D Carroll compared with its previous run at Southwell on the 21 January where it finished fifth beaten 22 lengths, but having received a report of the trainer’s explanation that the gelding benefited from a more positive ride allowing the horse to dominate, they decided not to hold an enquiry.
