JENNY GUMP - shifted ground inwards near the 600m placing NYLA in restricted room. After speaking with drivers S Walkinshaw and C Ferguson (NYLA) it was established that both horses had moved inwards simultaneously to take the same run with Mr Ferguson's horse being slow to respond when being restrained resulting in his runner being placed in restrcted room. Driver S Walkinshaw was warned to exercise greater care after shifting ground outwards leaving the final bend briefly placing outside runners in restricted room. When questioned regarding the apparent improved performance trainer D McLachlan advised the mare performs best when saved for one run as it was today.

MR PRESIDENT - broke when racing to the outside of CRACKLE N CRUNCH and inside of JACCKA EVAN near the 1700m losing ground. 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. Stewards were satisfied no driver was found to be a fault and took the matter no further.
