Mr Dunn further added he was not disappointed with the manner the gelding had finished the race off.

STUMBLIN IN - held up early and middle stages of the run home. When questioned regarding his tactics during the running, driver C Ferguson advised the gelding lacks gate speed so he elected not to pressure the horse in the early stages to obtain a more forward position. Mr Ferguson further explained that he remained on the marker line near the 1100m when an opportunity existed to shift outwards as he did not wish to risk being left to race parked, as the gelding is best suited when saved for one run and has been driven in a similar manner in recent starts. Mr Ferguson further added that when the running line failed to improve through the middle stages he became awkwardly positioned at the rear of the field and was obliged to shift inwards in the run home to obtain clear running. After considering his explanation, Stewards were satisfied Mr Ferguson's tactics were not unreasonable in the circumstances and took the matter no further.

FLYING ACE - crowded by outside runners racing into the first bend and raced inside a track marker having to be restrained. Stewards questioned drivers O Thornley (FLYING ACE), A Butt (GET SEASIDE LUCKY), and B Orange (JUMAL). After hearing their explanations and viewing the replays, it was established that JUMAL had initially crossed both FLYING ACE and GET SEASIDE LUCKY. However after 100m GET SEASIDE LUCKY was able to improve to the inside of JUMAL when this runner shifted up the track. JUMAL then lay inwards racing into the first bend despite the efforts of driver B Orange resulting in GET SEASIDE LUCKY being dictated inwards with FLYING ACE racing inside a track marker. After considering the circumstances, Stewards deemed that no horse or driver was at fault. Held up early in the run home and lay in and struck a track marker near the 170m.

TREASURE COVE - paced roughly in the early stages. Broke after locking wheels with FRANCO LOMU near the 650m losing all chance. Driver T Williams defended a breach of Rule 869(3)(b) alleging he drove carelessly by shifting ground outwards near the 650m causing interference to FRANCO LOMU (B Orange) resulting in both runners locking wheels and losing all chance. After viewing the replays and hearing evidence from Stewards and both drivers, the Adjudicative Committee found the charge proved and Mr Williams driver's licence was suspended from the conclusion of racing on 12 June up to and including 21 June 2026 (3 days).

A warning was placed on the barrier record of the gelding. Mr Orange elected to remain in his allocated barrier position for the restart. Raced greenly in the score up of the restart and was out of position at the start. Placed on the unruly for future mobile starts.
