TU TANGATA - hampered by a breaking runner passing the 450m. Driver P Nairn reported he was unable to activate the removable deafeners due to the cord becoming entangled. Stewards questioned driver P Nairn regarding the tactics he adopted in the middle stages when electing not to shift wider on the track near the 1400m prior to being covered by an improving runner. Mr Nairn advised the gelding had trotted roughly and broken in previous starts on the track and for this reason he was reluctant to improve to the parked position due to the prevailing track conditions with a considerable distance still remaining until the finish. Stewards noted Mr Nairn's comments.
