SHES ALL LEGS - weakened final turn. Driver P Ferguson reported that a sulky tyre deflated in the run home. Stewards were satisfied that this was a result of the improving GRACE N ELEGANCE (T Cameron) contacting the sulky wheel of the weakening SHES ALL LEGS passing the 200m and took the matter no further given the circumstances.
