ROMEO FOXTROT - hampered when attempting to avoid the galloping TAYLAD TO USE approaching the first turn and then broke when checked down over track markers losing ground. An investigation was held into this incident. After hearing the relative evidence from Drivers T Mitchell (ROMEO FOXTROT), T Cameron (TAKE THE MONARCH), M Ranger (ITAINTNECESSARILYSO) and viewing the replays Ms Ranger was reminded of her obligations in relation to crowding inside runners given similar circumstances in the future. In considering this matter Stewards took into account that TAYLAD TO USE shifted in marginally whilst in the gallop and contributed to ROMEO FOXTROT being checked down over track markers.
