BENJAMIN BUTTON - lay out in the score up and was back from position at dispatch. A warning was placed on the gelding's barrier manners. Slow early stages. Driver J Kriechbaumer, assisted by Trainer S Abernethy, was questioned regarding the tactics he adopted in the middle stages when electing not to shift out into an available position three back in the running line until near the 750m. Mr Kriechbaumer stated that he had been driving to instructions and felt he had saved ground by not shifting out earlier. Mr Abernethy confirmed that he had given instructions to Mr Kriechbaumer that this runner was best suited when saved for one run and ideally when that was between other horses. He further stated that it was his intention to drive the gelding in this manner where possible in the future. After considering the evidence Stewards took the matter no further other than to note the respective explanations.
