MATAURA B B - broke passing the 800m losing ground. Weakened over the concluding stages. Stewards spoke with drivers J Cox (MATAURA B B) and M Hurrell (NYLA) regarding the incident near the 800m where MATAURA B B broke. It was established that when Mr Hurrell pushed Mr Cox wider on the track at this stage, MATAURA B B had lay in simultaneously to NYLA laying out with both drivers immediately taking corrective action, however the sulky wheel of NYLA touched the near hind leg of MATAURA B B which broke in consequence. After interviewing both drivers and reviewing the footage Stewards could not apportion fault to any one horse or driver and accordingly took the matter no further.

RUBY'S A DELIGHT - shifted outwards and contacted the wheel of FOVEAUX GAMBLER near the 500m and broke with trailing runners being severely checked. Driver W Frost admitted a breach of Rule 869(3)(b) in that he drove carelessly near the 500m when allowing his horse to shift outwards when activating gear and contact the sulky wheel of FOVEAUX GAMBLER and break resulting in trailing runners being severely checked with driver K McClintock being dislodged from the sulky of EVIDENTLY.
