HOLLY HIGHLANDER - broke in the score up losing considerable ground. A warning was placed on the barrier record of the mare. Driver J MacDonald advised he was unable to activate the removable deafeners in the run home due to the cord becoming entangled. Authorisation of 3rd placing was withheld until Stewards were satisfied the mare had complied with the Breaking Horses Regulation in the early stages. Mr MacDonald was shown a replay and reminded of his obligations when attempting to activate gear in the run home with his foot close to the horse's hind leg.
