There was no claim lodged for OUR SOUTHERN MAN.
A false start was declared when V C DELL (T Vince) broke early in the score up locking wheels with ATOMIC FALCON (S Phillips) and dislodged both drivers. V C DELL and ATOMIC FALCON were quickly recaptured by the Crash Crew after going a short distance, and were cleared fit to start by the racecourse veterinarian. There was an 8 minute delay for the re-start as V C DELL required a sulky change.
At the second attempt to start the event V C DELL failed to move away with the field and took no part. V C DELL was declared unruly for mobile starts.

HADRIAN shifted ground outwards approaching the 1100 metres resulting in VIEWFIELD APACHE contacting its outside sulky wheel, with VIEWFIELD APACHE breaking losing all chance. Amateur driver S Wigg admitted a charge under Rule 869(3)(b) in that she drove HADRIAN carelessly causing interference to VIEWFIELD APACHE (S Butcher) approaching the 1100 metres.
