TIPSTAR - Co-Trainers P & V Blanchard were issued with a $50 Minor Infringement Notice for the late notification of driver. Broke near the 1400m when racing to the inside of ANOTHER COLLECT hampering trailing runners but soon settled.

Given the circumstances Stewards took the matter no further other than to remind Mr Delany of his obligations given similar circumstances in the future. Weakened in the run home.
