SHOWTYM GIRL - over-raced before being steadied off the back of IT'S NAE OR NEVER near the 1050m. Junior Driver L Hibell, assisted by N Chilcott, was shown the replay and spoken to advisedly in relation to the manner in which she drove in this incident. In considering this matter Stewards took into account that Ms Hibell had encountered difficulty when activating the hopple shorteners and also the manner in which the mare had been carrying her tail after having broken the tail tie when kicking out in the preliminary which had placed her at a disadvantage.
