After viewing the films which supported the driver's explanation Stewards took no further action other than to place a warning on the racing record of WHY NOT ME.

MIKI'S BEAUTY - raced greenly near the 300m having to be straightened by driver B Orange. Mr Orange advised he did not activate the sliding blinds due to having the field covered.
