MASTER MCGOOGAN - trotted roughly in the score up and was out of position at the start. Broke at the start losing ground. A warning was placed on the barrier record of the gelding. Trotted roughly passing the 800m. Again trotted roughly in the run home before breaking near the 40m and continued on in a break across the finish line. Authorisation of 4th placing was withheld until Stewards were satisfied the gelding had complied with the Breaking Horses Regulation.

JET STREAM - weakened rounding the final bend. Driver A Clark defended a breach of Rule 869(3)(g) alleging he drove in a manner capable of diminishing the chances of his horse winning by electing to race in the parked position when the opportunity existed for him to restrain and obtain cover. After hearing evidence from Stewards and Mr Clark and viewing the replays, the Adjudicative Committee found the charge proved and Mr Clark's driver's licence was suspended from the conclusion of racing tonight up to and including 1 May 2026 (8 days). A post-race veterinary examination revealed slight lameness in the right hind leg and a high heart rate.
