Stewards firstly reviewed and were satisfied that driver G Thornley (CRACKLE N CRUNCH) had commenced to shift ground outwards prior to MR PRESIDENT reaching her sulky wheel, accordingly no further action was required. Stewards then questioned drivers M Hill (MR PRESIDENT) and D Anderson (JACCKA EVAN) assisted by N Williamson and G Thornley assisted by S Ottley in relation to the incident where MR PRESIDENT broke near the 1700m. After speaking with all drivers it was established that after initially shifting outwards CRACKLE N CRUNCH had then hung outwards despite Miss Thornley's attempt to shift the gelding inwards.

FOREVER ARDEN - underwent a pre-race veterinary examination after being observed to have blood present in its mouth following the two false starts and was found to have a small cut on its lip being cleared to start. Held up final bend and early stages of the run home. Driver R McIlwrick was questioned regarding the tactics he adopted over the concluding stages of the run home when held up and electing not to take a run to his inside which became available inside the final 100 metres. Mr McIlwrick explained that his gelding had become worked up after the two false starts and having to undergo a veterinary examination. He added that he was hard on the back of MR PRESIDENT and was aware that there was room to his inside over the concluding stages however because the gelding was travelling so well in this position he was reluctant to attempt a shift inwards off Mr Barclay's helmet or activate the removable deafeners for safety reasons, due to being in such close proximity to the sulky of MR PRESIDENT. Stewards accepted and noted Mr McIlwrick's comments.
