HAPPY HILL - when questioned with regard to his minimal vigour and failure to activate the removable deafeners in the home straight Co-Trainer/Driver B Hackett stated that the gelding was a twenty start maiden which had proved difficult in its previous racing when breaking for no apparent reason. He further explained that this runner had felt uneven in its gait when the tempo increased down the back straight the final time and had then been on the inside rein when laying out when attempting to use the passing lane in the run home placing him at a disadvantage. Mr Hackett also added that he had reined the horse up over the final stages and that the gelding would race in a fixed deafener hood for the immediate future. Stewards noted his comments.

The start was delayed at the first attempt due to VORONOV and MISS BEBE coming to the barrier out of position with the field being turned out of line. Driver D Butcher (MISS BEBE) was issued a $200 Minor Infringement Notice for delaying the start. The start was then further delayed when HELSINGOR required assistance from an Attendant after being reluctant to come forward onto the barrier.

VORONOV - unsuccessfully contested for the lead middle stages. Weakened rounding the final turn hampering an outside runner. Driver L Chin admitted a charge under Rule 868(2) in that failed to take all reasonable and permissible measures during the middle stages to ensure his gelding was given full opportunity to win or obtain the best possible position and/or finishing place by persisting with a challenge for the lead which resulted in this runner weakening rounding the final turn to finish in 11th place. After viewing the replays and hearing penalty submissions the Adjudicative Committee suspended Dr Chin's driver's licence from the conclusion of racing today up to and including 26 January 2026 (5 days).

Given the circumstances Stewards took the matter no further.
