JOHNNY TROTTER - had to be steadied near the 1700m after a slight easing of the pace. Broke near the 40m and continued on in a break across the finish line. Stewards lodged a protest against 2nd placing being awarded under Rule 870(5) alleging the gelding was lapped on at the finish by MILES AWAY and ROYAL DEL. Connections did not contest the protest and JOHNNY TROTTER was relegated to 4th placing by Stewards. Stood down to trial to the satisfaction of Stewards on one occasion prior to resuming.

A REASON TO FIGHT - over-raced middle stages. Hampered by a weakening runner for a distance passing the 800m before breaking near the 650m hampering trailing runners losing all chance. Stewards questioned driver R Close regarding this incident. Mr Close advised that his runner had been over-racing causing him difficulty and after being hampered by the weakening MILLIE LET LOOSE he had attempted to shift ground outwards however MILLIE LET LOOSE had hung outwards simultaneously to him shifting ground resulting in his runner being placed in restricted room. After viewing the replays and considering Mr Close's explanation Stewards took the matter no further.
