Stewards questioned Junior Driver W House, who declined the assistance of a senior driver, in relation to his tactics adopted leaving the 600m when electing to remain on the back of COSMIC ANGEL prior to being covered by the improving PRESIDENT FLYNNTIN. Mr House advised at that stage he was some distance from the finish on a grass track and in his opinion the leader was still traveling comfortably and that it wasn't until near the 400m COSMIC ANGEL had commenced to weaken however he had already been covered at that stage. After considering his explanation and viewing the replays, Stewards were satisfied his actions were not unreasonable in the circumstances and took the matter no further.
