ROBYNS HUSTLER - contacted the final track marker prior to the passing lane. Stewards withheld authorisation of 3rd placing until they had reviewed the footage and were satisfied the gelding had not gained an advantage at this stage of the race. Junior driver M Hill, who declined the assistance of a senior driver, admitted a charge under Rule 869(7A)(a) in that he allowed his horse to contact a track marker near the 200m. After viewing replays and considering penalty submissions the Adjudicative Committee imposed a fine of $150.

ROBYNS HUSTLER - raced three wide with cover from the 1000m. Stewards questioned driver M Hill regarding the manner he drove near the 1400m when he restrained his runner which allowed PARADISE VALLEY to shift in to take a position in the running line. Mr Hill explained he was aware that if he did not take hold he would have been pushed down to the marker line by the runner to his outside which he felt would have been detrimental to his chances. Stewards noted Mr Hill's comments.
