NED KELLY - over-raced early and middle stages. Hung outwards near the 600m when over-racing and contacted and punctured the sulky tyre of MOTOR MOUTH. Stewards questioned driver R Cameron regarding this and after viewing the replays were satisfied that Mr Cameron was not at fault due to the racing manners of NED KELLY. A final warning was placed on the racing record of the gelding.
