LEWEY MAGUIRE - raced wide early and middle stages before crossing to the parked position near the 1750m. Lay in leaving the back straight the final time and then shifted down inside the marker line after the off side rein became detached and took no further serious part. It was established that a pricker on the rein had shifted forward after being forced back against the saddle terret when the gelding had lay in resulting in the rein coming unfastened, with no further action deemed necessary other than to note the circumstances.
