Authorisation of 2nd placing was withheld until Stewards had spoken to driver R Close (FLYAWAY) placed 3rd, to ascertain whether he wished to lodge a protest after GEORGIE ZUKOV had shifted into the passing lane.

DANCING DESIRE - raced wide from the 700m. Struck the sulky tyre of MAJOR SWEETART which punctured near the 650m. Junior driver S Thornley (assisted by K Barron) defended a breach of Rule 869(3)(b) alleging he drove carelessly in this incident. After viewing the replays and hearing evidence from all parties the Adjudicative Committee found the charge proved and imposed a fine of $200.
