ONE EL - lay outwards through the middle stages. Shifted outwards near the 500m and struck the sulky wheel of THE ROYAL GAMBLE, resulting in ONE EL's near-side foreleg becoming momentarily caught in the top of the sulky stay with the gelding breaking as a consequence, losing ground. Driver C DeFilippi admitted a breach of Rule 869(3)(b) in that he drove carelessly at this stage of the race and after viewing the replays and hearing submissions on penalty, the Adjudicative Committee imposed a fine of $300.
