Stewards questioned driver T Robertson regarding the tactics he adopted during the early and middle stages when being challenged for the lead by the favoured SHE'S A JEWEL. Mr Robertson stated that his intention was to restrain and obtain cover however due to the mare over-racing and laying in he was unable to do so, adding that when SHE'S A JEWEL (B Williamson) attempted to take the lead KARDASHIAN commenced to race fiercely proving very difficult to steer. After viewing the replays which supported Mr Robertson's explanation, Stewards took the matter no further other than to place a warning on the racing record of KARDASHIAN. Mr Robertson also advised he would be suggesting gear changes to connections.
