After hearing from all drivers and viewing the replays, it was established that Mr Mitchell had shifted ground outwards in an acceptable manner when having a clear advantage over both runners, however BELL FIRE and SPIRITED LOU had contributed to the incident by hanging inwards when being shifted wider on the track. After considering the matter, no further action was deemed necessary.

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.
