MAJESTIC TRIX - Stewards questioned drivers B Borcoskie (MAJESTIC TRIX) and K Cameron (VOLSTONE) in relation to an incident near the 1300m when MAJESTIC TRIX was awkwardly placed to the inside of VOLSTONE and raced in the passing lane for a short distance prior to being steadied. After hearing from both drivers and viewing the films, Stewards were satisfied that given the field had been racing loosely and movement from either runner was minimal, no one horse or driver was found to be at fault and no further action was required. Trotted roughly for a distance passing the 700m.
