HEZ BLESSED - weakened from the 600m. When questioned regarding the performance driver N Williamson advised the gelding had over-raced in the preliminary and although it settled prior to the start this had taken its toll over the latter stages of the race. A post-race veterinary examination revealed the gelding to have low grade lameness in the right fore and left hind leg. Stood down pending a veterinary clearance prior to resuming.

Soon led,kickd,only nabd late

MAJESTIC CHALLEN - Stewards questioned driver E. Barron regarding her apparent lack of vigour and reluctance to use the whip over the concluding stages. Miss Barron explained that the mare had attempted to buck during the preliminary when she crossed her reins, and she was therefore hesitant to risk a similar reaction in the run home which could have caused the mare to break. After considering her explanation, Stewards were satisfied that her actions had not adversely affected the horse's chances of finishing in a higher placing. Notwithstanding this Miss Barron was reminded of her obligation to drive her runners out to the finish whenever circumstances permit.
