FLYAWAY - paced roughly near the 1500m. Over-raced middle stages. Struck the sulky wheel of TIMES ARE A CHANGIN when shifting outwards near the 400m which punctured. Stewards spoke to junior driver S Thornley (assisted by K Barron) regarding this incident who advised the mare had caused him difficulty throughout and had hung inwards when attempting to shift wider on the track on the final bend. After considering his explanation Stewards placed a warning on the racing record of the mare.
