GOTTA ELECT BILL - Stewards questioned Junior driver S Burley (assisted by M House) in relation to the manner in which she drove over the concluding stages regarding her lack of vigour. Miss Burley explained that the horse was no longer responding to her urgings and had come to the end of its run. After considering Miss Burley's explanation and reviewing the replays, it was established that MAJOR HAPPY had improved past GOTTA ELECT BILL into 2nd position when Miss Burley ceased her urgings and Stewards were satisfied that her actions had not affected the result and determined that no further action was warranted other than to issue her with a warning to drive her runner out fully to the end of the race when in a stake bearing position.
