REBOUND - shifted down into the passing lane entering the home straight crowding a trailing runner. Stewards questioned Driver M Williamson regarding the manner he drove entering the home straight when allowing his horse to shift into the passing lane. Mr Williamson advised that he heard Mr Hurrell (CRAIGSYDE) yelling behind him and believing he was in trouble, Mr Williamson eased his horse down into the passing lane. After viewing the films, it was clear CRAIGSYDE was racing fiercely with its head up when awkwardly placed close to the sulky of DARIN and that Mr Williamson's actions were in the best interests of safety, accordingly no further action was deemed necessary other than to place a warning on the racing manners of CRAIGSYDE.
