FEKITOA - broke near the 1400 metres. Broke near the 800 metres.
OCTOBER TROUBLE - weakened from the 600 metres.
CAPELLI - (C Thornley) pre-raced warmed. Broke entering the first bend after becoming awkwardly positioned to the sulky wheel of COSMIC SUN (B Williamson). Stewards spoke to Drivers Williamson and Thornley regarding this incident and after taking into account the explanations tendered by both drivers along with viewing all available films it was established that CAPELLI was reluctant to shift down the track at this point due to trotting roughly and hanging outwards. As a result a warning was placed on the record of CAPELLI. Authorisation of placings was withheld until Stewards were satisfied that the filly had complied with the Breaking Horse regulations.
PEGASUS HANOVER - trotted roughly throughout.
MASIES PRIDE - trotted roughly in the home straight.

Stable representative C Thornley advised Stewards on 22 February that THE FONZ would no longer race from their stable.
Trainer C Barron advised Stewards on 27 February that RAKAGEM has recovered well following its run at Forbury Park on 21 February and will continue with its current preparation.

MISSALYSSA - broke at the start. Hampered by breaking runner near the 400 metres.

CHEEKY PAT - gave ground from the 800 metres. The mare was stood down to trial satisfactorily. Trainer G Woodhouse advised that he would be retiring the mare as a racing proposition.
LONE STAR LAD - broke at the start losing considerable ground. Stewards withheld the all clear until they could establish whether the gelding had complied with the Breaking Horse Regulations when in a break at this stage of the race. After viewing the films available and taking into account submissions from the stable representative R Close, it could not be established on the balance of probabilities that the gelding had breached the Regulation and therefore placings were duly authorised.
ABBY MAY - raced wide early.
PAT THE MONKEY - Junior Driver J Morrison (who declined the assistance of a Senior Horseman) was spoken to in regards to the manner in which he used his whip nearing the 450 metres in particular to establish whether the action in which he used it had struck ZSA ZARA ( K Tomlinson) nearing the 450 metres. After hearing from both drivers Mr Morrison was issued with a charge under HRNZ Rule 869(2) and the Use of Whip Regulations clause (g) in that he used his whip in such a way that it struck another horse with this matter being adjourned sine die.
The adjourned inquiry in regards to the manner in which Junior Driver J Morrison (PAT THE MONKEY) used his whip nearing the 450 metres concluded today with Mr Morrison pleading guilty to breaching HRNZ Rule 869(2) and clause (g) of the Use of Whip Regulations.
