THE RASCAL - the murphy blind was removed prior to the start due to the colt failing to warm up favourably. Lay in and raced over a track marker near the 1250m. Authorisation of this runner's 3rd placing was withheld until Steward's viewed the replays and questioned Drivers P Ferguson (THE RASCAL) and M McKendry (BIG HERB) in relation to THE RASCAL contacting a track marker passing the 80m when looking for a run to the inside of BIG HERB. These two runners then locked wheels over the final 40m. After considering the matter Stewards were satisfied that THE RASCAL had not gained an advantage in this incident and gave all clear on the judge's placings. Mr Ferguson was issued a warning in relation to contacting the track marker.
