ALL OF ME - raced wide early. Weakened from the 1000m hampering trailing runners and was retired from the event. Driver C Dalgety admitted a charge under Rule 869(2) and the Whip and Rein Regulations in that he used his whip with more than a wrist flicking motion near the 1000m. After viewing the replays and hearing submissions on penalty the Adjudicative Committee imposed a fine of $300. When questioned regarding the performance Mr Dalgety could offer no tangible reason. A post-race endoscopy detected a degree of mucus that may have affected the horse's racing performance. A veterinary clearance will be required prior to racing again.

SMACKDOWN - raced wide early. Locked wheels with LULANA near the 950m. Stewards questioned drivers P Ferguson (SMACKDOWN) and A Poutama (LULANA) regarding this incident where it was established that LULANA had lay inwards and had raced on one rein prior to being shifted wider by SMACKDOWN. Driver A Poutama stated that had his filly raced more tractably in this incident he would have been able to accommodate the outward shift of SMACKDOWN. After hearing from both drivers Stewards were satisfied that neither driver was at fault and took the matter no further other than to note the circumstances. Checked and broke briefly near the 800m losing ground.
