Ms S Montgomerie was unable to ride STIRRUP CUP (Race 2) and ARAPAHO HEIGHTS (Race 3)  at her declared MRW of 54.0 kg.

Despite there being another suitable replacement rider Stewards acceded to requests from the respective trainers of the above horses and allowed S Montgomerie to fulfil her engagements 1 kg over her MRW.

Ms Montgomerie advised the Stewards that she had been unwell for several days leading up to today's races and also she had been struggling in general with her weight. 

Stewards reprimanded S Montgomerie for failing to ride at her MRW and advised her that she must ensure she sets her MRW at a level which was realistic.
