POISON IVY - over-raced when being restrained to obtain cover for a distance passing the 1400m. Continued to over-race placing driver O Thornley in some difficulty and as a result made contact with the back of the sulky of LARISSA BEAUDIENE and broke before falling near the 600m dislodging driver O Thornley checking SHADOW CREEK, HERE COMES MARTY, DOVER TERRACE and JOHN STEWART with driver M Williamson being dislodged from the sulky of JOHN STEWART. POISON IVY escaped driverless before being recaptured and was transported from the track in the Horse Ambulance. A post-race veterinary examination revealed a head injury with the mare being treated before being referred to the Canterbury Equine Clinic for further assessment. Stood down pending a veterinary clearance prior to completing one trial to the satisfaction of Stewards before resuming. Driver O Thornley was examined by St John personnel and cleared of injury to fulfill her remaining driving engagement.

DO YOU WANNA DANCE - held up throughout the run home. Driver G Smith advised he did not activate the removable gear in consequence. When questioned regarding his decision not to take the run available in the passing lane Mr Smith advised he believed that STYLISH LUSTRE would take this run and that the leader HERE COMES MARTY had been laying outwards under pressure which he felt would provide him with clear racing room however this did not eventuate resulting in him being held up. After viewing the replays Stewards were satisfied his explanation was not unreasonable in the circumstances and took the matter no further.
