VORONOV - unsuccessfully contested for the lead middle stages. Weakened rounding the final turn hampering an outside runner. Driver L Chin admitted a charge under Rule 868(2) in that failed to take all reasonable and permissible measures during the middle stages to ensure his gelding was given full opportunity to win or obtain the best possible position and/or finishing place by persisting with a challenge for the lead which resulted in this runner weakening rounding the final turn to finish in 11th place. After viewing the replays and hearing penalty submissions the Adjudicative Committee suspended Dr Chin's driver's licence from the conclusion of racing today up to and including 26 January 2026 (5 days).

FEARLESS - pre-race warmed. Broke at the start losing ground. Broke again passing the 2200m losing further ground. Trotted roughly in the middle stages when over-racing. Broke again on a further occasion near the 40m and failed to settle, being lapped on by CRACKERJACK and SANS AU REVOIR. Stewards lodged a protest under Rule 870(5) against this runner's 3rd placing alleging the gelding was lapped on at the finish line. After viewing replays connections did not contest the protest and FEARLESS was relegated to 5th placing by the Stewards. A warning was placed on the gelding's racing manners.

ILLICIT LOVE - broke near the 1750m when racing to the inside of EYRE I WILL checking trailing runners and losing considerable ground. Stewards held an investigation into this incident and after hearing the relative evidence from Junior Driver C Hackett (ILLICIT LOVE) assisted by M Wallis, Driver S Abernethy (EYRE I WILL) and viewing the replays it was established that these runners had been contesting a position in the running line when racing on terms with neither driver being deemed to be at fault. Given the circumstances Stewards took the matter no further.
