The start was delayed 2 minutes at the request of Raceday Control. There was a further 8 minute delay due to a false start being declared at the first attempt when KEVIN KLINE broke in the score up and shifted out puncturing the sulky tyre of SPIRIT OF WAIHEKE. A warning was placed on KEVIN KLINE's barrier manners. The start was further delayed when INFAMEE had to return to the stabling area to have the sulky replaced after a tyre deflated. Driver N Delany (KEVIN KLINE) elected to remain in his allocated barrier position for the restart.
