SEASIDE ROSE - Stewards investigated an incident near the 200m where TWISTA broke when contacted by SEASIDE ROSE. After hearing the relative evidence of S Phelan (TWISTA), D Ferguson (SEASIDE ROSE) and viewing the replays it was established that SEASIDE ROSE, which was laying out, had shifted abruptly when Mr Ferguson had activated the deafeners and turned his whip resulting in the contact. Mr Phelan stated that he felt he had the opportunity to shift to accommodate the outward movement of SEASIDE ROSE but that his gelding had not responded to his efforts to move wider on the track thereby contributing to the incident. After considering the evidence Stewards took the matter no further other than to issue a warning to Mr Ferguson for his lack of control in the incident.

Connections advised Stewards on 22 July that TWISTA has had its knees treated and been gelded since last having raced.
