LIL WHIP - pre-race warmed. Broke near the 600m losing all chance. Stewards questioned Junior Driver E Johnson (AND REMEMBER ME) (assisted by T Mitchell), Drivers T Herlihy (LIL WHIP) and J Abernethy (HENRIK LUNDQVIST) regarding this incident. After viewing the replays and hearing the relative evidence Stewards could not solely attribute blame to any one horse or driver. Notwithstanding this Mr Herlihy and Mr Abernethy were reminded of their obligations given similar circumstances in the future. In considering this matter Stewards took into account that Mr Herlihy had been placed at a disadvantage after losing his safety glasses near the 1600m as well as the outward movement of HENRIK LUNDQVIST contributing to the incident.

LOTERIA - paced after 100m having to be broken up by its driver losing considerable ground. When questioned regarding the performance Driver J Dickie stated that after this runner had mixed its gait early he had been left to race in the parked position and was required to lead the running line forward through the middle stages after being unable to obtain cover. Mr Dickie added that considering this he was not disappointed with the performance of the filly.

PLAY FAST AND LOOSE - fractious prior to the start and required the assistance of the starting crew. A warning was placed on the barrier record of the filly. Stewards investigated a possible breach of the Push Out Rule after LOTERIA briefly raced wider on the track near the 1200m when PLAY FAST AND LOOSE shifted ground outwards. After viewing the replays it was established that driver T Herlihy (PLAY FAST AND LOOSE) had shifted outwards prior to LOTERIA reaching its wheel and no further action was deemed necessary.
