SEACLUSION - broke near the 1400m after successfully contesting for a position on the back of HOORAY HENRY losing ground. A post-race veterinary examination revealed no obvious abnormalities. Stewards will follow up with connections in the coming days. Stewards questioned drivers J Stormont (SEACLUSION) and T Herlihy (DAWSON) regarding this incident. Mr Stormont advised that his mare had paced roughly at stages throughout the event including shortly after this incident causing the horse to break briefly. After hearing from drivers and viewing the films Stewards were in agreeance that it was a racing incident with no further action deemed necessary.
