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.

FINAL CHANGE - raced with its inside wheel protruding inside the track markers for a distance in the run home. Stewards lodged a protest under Rule 869(7B) against the gelding's third placing, alleging that racing with its wheel protruding inside track markers it gained an advantage through obtaining and improving into a run that would not otherwise have been available. After hearing evidence from Stewards, Junior Driver H Orange (assisted by T Herlihy) the Adjudicative Committee upheld the protest and FINAL CHANGE was relegated to 4th place. Junior Driver H Orange (assisted by Z Butcher) admitted an associated charge in that he shifted inwards allowing his sulky wheel to protrude over the marker line in the run home thereby gaining and advantage. After hearing submission on penalty the Adjudicative Committee suspended Mr Orange's driver's licence from the conclusion of racing tonight up to and including 7 June 2026 (2 days).
