MAZEPPA - broke at the start losing ground. Driver L Chin was shown the replay of the final stages and questioned regarding the manner in which he drove when clear in the lead. Dr Chin stated that he had been mindful that MAZEPPA had lost ground early before working forward to lead and had then received midrace pressure when challenged by COOL PHELAN and felt that the gelding was doing its best so had been reluctant to place this runner under undue pressure. Dr Chin further stated that he had looked to the outside on several occasions and had shown vigour in driving the gelding out once BARSUKOV came into view when finishing strongly down the outer. Stewards were satisfied that the manner in which Dr Chin drove was not so unreasonable given the circumstances as to be culpable and took the matter no further.
