GEORGE ELIOT - Stewards investigated a possible breach of the Push Out Rule near the 1000m after GEORGE ELIOT raced wider on the track when PORT PEGASUS shifted ground outwards. After viewing the replays it was established that driver J Morrison (PORT PEGASUS) had commenced his outwards movement prior to GEORGE ELIOT reaching his sulky wheel and accordingly Stewards took the matter no further.
