CHANGE TACT - placed in restricted room late in the run home when horses either side shifted ground. Stewards questioned drivers M White (CHANGE TACT) and K Coppins (ROUGH AND READY) in relation to an incident passing the 400m when ROUGH AND READY contacted and punctured the sulky tyre of CHANGE TACT. It was established that ROUGH AND READY had commenced to improve to the inside of CHANGE TACT simultaneously to BLUE CHIP LOU shifting outwards which resulted in the contact occurring. Given the circumstances Stewards deemed that neither driver was solely at fault and took the matter no further other than to note the circumstances.
