MARIA KIRILENKO - Stewards questioned driver M Northcott regarding the tactics she adopted near the 950m when shifting outwards from a trailing position. Ms Northcott explained she believed the tempo of the race was easing and given the mare's recent tendency to be unable to quicken in the final stages when racing with cover, she elected to shift into the open in an effort to improve the pace and encourage the mare to race more competitively. She further advised the mare had appreciated a recent gear change. Stewards noted Ms Northcott's explanation.

CONRAD H - attempted to shift inwards near the 400m making contact with the sulky stay of MARIA KIRILENKO resulting in the gelding breaking and hampering trailing runners. Authorisation of 3rd placing was withheld until Stewards were satisfied that this runner had complied with the Breaking Horses Regulation. Driver A Sharpe admitted a breach of Rule 869(3)(b) in that he drove carelessly by shifting ground when not in a position to do so which resulted in his own horse breaking. After viewing the replays and hearing penalty submissions the Adjudicative Committee imposed a fine of $400.
