HARRISON JOHN - raced wide early. A rein came adrift from the horse's bit near the 2200m resulting in the gelding shifting inwards checking IT'S TOUGH before shifting to the inside of the track and being captured by the Clerk of the Course. Co-trainers H & A Cullen admitted a breach of Rule 864(2)(d) in that they failed to ensure the rein was securely fastened so as not to come adrift and the Adjudicative Committee imposed a fine of $200.
