AUNTY ROSE - raced wide with cover from the 1100m. Weakened leaving the final bend. Junior Driver R Harrison (assisted by HRNZ's Development Co-Ordinator P Black) admitted a charge under Rule 869(2) Whip and Rein Regulations in that she used her whip out of contention in the run home. After viewing the replays and hearing submissions on penalty the Adjudicative Committee imposed a fine of $250.

AUNTY ROSE - Driver T Cameron was issued a warning for using his whip with more than a wrist flicking motion early in the run home. Mr Cameron was also questioned regarding his apparent lack of vigour over the final stages. He explained that the mare had not been responding to his urgings and he felt that outside runners had headed him so he elected not to continue placing his runner under any undue pressure. After considering his explanation Mr Cameron was reminded of his obligations to ensure he drives his runner out to the finish when in similar circumstances in the future.

AUNTY ROSE - locked wheels with HE'S TOUGH passing the 1800m for a considerable distance then broke losing considerable ground. Stewards spoke with junior drivers H Orange (assisted by S Abernethy) and C Hackett (assisted by A Poutama) regarding the incident in question. Each driver was given the opportunity to provide their account of the circumstances and after considering the submissions from all parties and carefully reviewing all available race footage, it was established that AUNTY ROSE shifted outward whilst under slight restraint at a point where HE'S TOUGH was improving rapidly to its outside. Stewards were satisfied that the circumstances were a result of racing dynamics rather than any carelessness from either driver and subsequently, no action was deemed necessary.

GOTTA GO MIKI - slow early. Broke rounding the first bend when contesting for a position in the running line with SWEET MAGGIE MAE (K Denifostova), losing ground. After viewing the films and hearing from Driver L Hollis, Stewards established that Ms Denifostova was initially entitled to shift GOTTA GO MIKI down the track, however, SWEET MAGGIE MAE was soon after placed in restricted room to the inside of OLYMPIC KO (S Abernethy), which was hanging inwards, preventing SWEET MAGGIE MAE from relieving the pressure being applied to GOTTA GO MIKI. Given the circumstances, Stewards were unable to apportion blame to any horse or Driver and took the matter no further.

LA CONCHA - under pressure near the 400m and weakened noticeably after negotiating the final bend, finishing well back. When questioned regarding the performance, driver C Dalgety advised he was disappointed with the effort, adding that the horse had travelled satisfactorily throughout but failed to respond when placed under pressure in the home straight. Mr Dalgety stated he could offer no tangible explanation for the disappointing performance. A post-race veterinary examination revealed no obvious abnormalities. Stewards will follow up with connections in the coming days regarding the horse's recovery and any subsequent findings.

LA CONCHA - stewards questioned driver C Dalgety regarding the improved performance of this runner, Mr Dalgety advised that, after disappointing at its previous start, the gelding had recovered well and pleased the stable with its work during the week. Mr Dalgety added that a minor gear alteration had been made leading into tonight's engagement and, combined with being driven more positively in the early stages to secure a more favourable position in the running that this had contributed to the improved performance.

TREASURE COVE - paced roughly in the early stages. Broke after locking wheels with FRANCO LOMU near the 650m losing all chance. Driver T Williams defended a breach of Rule 869(3)(b) alleging he drove carelessly by shifting ground outwards near the 650m causing interference to FRANCO LOMU (B Orange) resulting in both runners locking wheels and losing all chance. After viewing the replays and hearing evidence from Stewards and both drivers, the Adjudicative Committee found the charge proved and Mr Williams driver's licence was suspended from the conclusion of racing on 12 June up to and including 21 June 2026 (3 days).
