REGAL GIRL - Junior Driver M Ranger, assisted by D Butcher, was warned for the manner in which she drove when contacting several track markers near the 200m before then racing over further track markers when moved inwards by JASINOVA which shifted down into the passing lane. In considering the matter Stewards were satisfied that no unfair advantage had been gained in this incident given that REGAL GIRL lost momentum and then had sufficient room to improve to the inside of JASINOVA approaching the 100m.

LIAISON - lay out leaving the back straight when leading but was corrected by driver D Butcher. Broke near the 500m and was taken down inside the marker line to clear trailing runners before settling near the 250m. Stewards lodged a protest against this runner's 4th placing under Rule 870(3) and the Breaking Horses Regulation alleging the gelding had broken in excess of 150m. Connections did not contest the protest and LIAISON was disqualified by Stewards. The bandage on the near hind came adrift early in the run home possibly as a result of contacting track markers with no action being taken.

LIAISON - trotted roughly over the concluding stages. Placed in restricted room late in the run home. Connections reported the gelding lost the near fore shoe during the running.

KISS AND RUN - over-raced middle stages. Held up final turn and early stages of the run home. When questioned regarding his decision not to shift out to lead up the running line near the 1200m prior to being covered by LIAISON, Driver P Ferguson stated that the mare had been performing well when driven with cover and saved for one final run so he felt it was his best option to remain on the marker line rather than race without cover. He further explained that after initially looking to shift outwards near the 400m he had steadied and shifted down to follow HALBERG however that runner was losing ground so he shifted back to the outside to attempt to secure clear running which did not eventuate for some distance. Stewards noted Mr Ferguson's comments.

BOLT FOR THE HILL - Junior Driver S Burley (assisted by M White) admitted a charge under Rule 869(2) and the Whip and Rein Regulations in that she used her whip in a continuous manner in the run home. After viewing the replays and hearing submissions on penalty the Adjudicative Committee suspended Miss Burley's driver's licence from the conclusion of racing on the 31 May up to and including 18 July 2024 (7 days).
