Stewards spoke to drivers P Davis (ORIGIN) and R Close (LADY LUCINDA) where it was established that ORIGIN had lay outwards simultaneously to LADY LUCINDA laying inwards. After viewing the replays and considering the matter Stewards were unable to apportion blame to any one horse or driver and accordingly no further action was deemed necessary. Mr Close advised the filly had hung inwards at various stages throughout.
