DELIGHTINGOLD - broke near the 100m when racing to the inside of MIKI SKIPPER losing all chance resulting in a trailing runner being hampered. Stewards questioned junior drivers D Anderson (DELIGHTINGOLD), assisted by M Hurrell, and H Douglas (MIKI SKIPPER), assisted by J Douglas, regarding this incident. It was established that DELIGHTINGOLD had hung outwards after Mr Anderson had activated the sliding blinds and despite his efforts the mare's hind leg made contact with the sulky wheel of MIKI SKIPPER which had shifted inwards marginally after Mr Douglas had difficulty activating the removable deafeners, resulting in DELIGHTINGOLD breaking as a consequence. After hearing from both drivers Stewards were satisfied that no blame could be apportioned to any one horse or driver and no further action was deemed necessary.

TABASCO - weakened final bend. A post-race Veterinary examination revealed no abnormality. Stewards questioned junior driver M Hill, assisted by senior driver M Hurrell, regarding his tactics during the race, in particular his decision not to relinquish the lead and take a trail in the middle stages when the opportunity existed. Mr Hill explained that his instructions were to lead if possible which he was able to do after 400m. Mr Hill further stated that he tried to restrain his runner when STILL ROCKIN (R Gutsell) made an attempt on the lead near the 1600m and although gaining an advantage STILL ROCKIN was unable to get a full length in front. This occurred on several other occasions over the next 800m. When questioned Mr Gutsell confirmed that STILL ROCKIN was difficult to drive and with the gelding wearing a murphy blind on the near side it relaxes when it cannot see other horses. Stewards accepted the explanations of both drivers and took the matter no further other than to note the circumstances.
