Prkd,3-bk inr 1800,brk 450m,no hope

CAULFIELD - broke near the 450m when awkwardly placed to the outside wheel of MARIA KIRILENKO hampering a trailing runner losing its chance. Stewards spoke with driver J Darby in relation to this incident where it was established that CAULFIELD shifted outwards marginally at the same time as MARIA KIRILENKO shifted inwards. As a result of the simultaneous movement of both runners, CAULFIELD became awkwardly positioned and raced across the sulky wheel of MARIA KIRILENKO. This caused CAULFIELD to become unbalanced and break gait with the matter being taken no further other than to note the circumstances.
