RED RACKHAM - broke in the score up losing ground. A warning was placed on the barrier record of the gelding. Stewards questioned drivers T Mitchell (RED RACKHAM), Z Butcher (BELL FIRE) and D Balle (SPIRITED LOU) regarding an incident early in the run home where SPIRITED LOU was checked when racing to the outside of BELL FIRE after being shifted wider on the track by RED RACKHAM. 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.
