CAPTAIN CHRISTINA - hung inwards as the start was effected. Lay outwards racing into the first bend and broke when HAVTIMETODREAM crossed to the trailing position, hampering trailing runners losing considerable ground. Stewards spoke with drivers M Williamson and P Hunter (HAVTIMETODREAM) regarding this and after hearing from both drivers a warning was placed on the racing record of the filly.

IDEAL CROWN - Stewards opened and adjourned an investigation into the reasons for IDEAL CROWN pacing roughly after being shifted wider near the 600m. Driver C Ferguson admitted a breach of Rule 869(2) and the Whip and Rein Regulations in that he used his whip with more than a wrist flicking motion in the run home. After viewing the replays and hearing submissions on penalty the Adjudicative Committee suspended Mr Ferguson's driver's licence from the conclusion of racing on 23 May up to and including 2 June 2025 (4 days).
