A warning was placed on the racing record of the gelding. Notwithstanding this Stewards reminded Mr Abernethy of his obligations to exercise greater control of his horse in the future.

CONFEDERATE - Stewards questioned driver S Phelan regarding the manner in which he drove over the concluding stages after the gelding had shifted into the passing lane crowding an inside runner. Mr Phelan advised that his vision had been impeded due to the setting sun which had placed him at a disadvantage. After considering his explanation and viewing all available replays Stewards took the matter no further other than to note the circumstances. Mr Phelan was warned for using his whip with more than a wrist flicking motion in the run home.
