Stewards questioned Junior driver D Dolan (assisted by J Cox) regarding her decision not to shift wider on the track rounding the final bend prior to being covered by the improving MAJOR HAPPY. After considering Mrs Dolan's explanation and viewing the replays, Stewards adjourned the matter for further consideration. A post-race veterinary examination revealed no abnormalities.
