With no wind and very little tide Cambridge won the toss and chose the Surrey station. At the start Oxford took a slight lead. Almost immediately Cambridge steered sharply towards the Middlesex line and were warned twice in rapid succession by the umpire Rupert Obholzer. Then Oxford, still on their own station and a matter of a few feet ahead, veered towards Surrey and were warned. Almost immediately after this and still well before the Black Buoy the blades of the two boats overlapped substantially. Cambridge bow lost his oar and the umpire stopped the race. A restart was staged at the Black Buoy. Cambridge settled better and by Harrods were moving into a lead.

Cambridge moved Goldie stroke Ben Smith to row bow.
David Livingstone rowed 4 for Oxford and his brother James Livingstone rowed 7 for Cambridge.
They produced a book: Blood over Water -

On a blustery, overcast April day in 2003, David and James Livingston raced against each other in the 149th Oxford-Cambridge Boat Race, watched by over seven million people. It was the first time brothers had battled each other in this gladiatorial and quintessentially British tradition for over a hundred years. Only one could be victorious.
In this book, David and James tell their stories for the first time, giving an intimate insight into one of our least understood but best-loved national sporting occasions.
James, following in his family's footsteps, is a student at St Catharine's College, Cambridge, while David, wanting to escape his brother's shadow, joins Christ Church College at Oxford University. As the pair embark on training loads almost beyond endurance, their stories reveal the rivalries between these ancient and great institutions.
Told in alternating narratives, Blood over Water is an emotional and searching joint self-portrait, and an account of a brotherly relationship tested to breaking point. David's fervent desire to beat his older brother pushes him on, but drives an impenetrable wedge between the siblings. As the race approaches they are unable even to speak to each other. It is only after the race, James wrestling with his final Cambridge exams, that they start to reconcile their shattered relationship, damaged by their pursuit of a shared dream. Not only a nail-biting drama for sports fans, Blood over Water also looks at the darker side of sibling rivalry and asks just what you would be willing to sacrifice to achieve your dreams.
