The start was delayed due to BARRYTOWN charging the barrier strand. Driver G Telfer defended a breach of Rule 858(1)(a) in that he anticipated the start causing a delay. After hearing evidence from Stewards, Starter R Donnelly, driver G Telfer and viewing the replays, the Adjudicative Committee upheld the charge and imposed a fine of $200.
