DYNASTY - checked and shortly after broke rounding the final bend hampering trailing runners losing all chance. Stewards questioned drivers J Cox (ULTIMATE CULLECT) and B Butt (DYNASTY) regarding this incident and after viewing the replays and hearing from both drivers it was established that both runners had shifted outwards simultaneously with ULTIMATE CULLECT then becoming awkwardly placed close to the sulky wheel of MHAI SURFER GIRL causing Mr Cox some difficulty. After considering the matter Stewards were satisfied that no one horse or driver was at fault and took the matter no further. A post-race veterinary examination revealed no abnormalities.
