The start of this race was delayed approximately 6 minutes due firstly to St John Ambulance personnel attending to driver P Hunter and secondly the sulky tyre on SHOWCASE deflating in the preliminary requiring a change of sulky. As a consequence, Stewards showed leniency in assessing horse penalties for this race due to the long delay.

RASPALIA - raced wide on the track racing into and rounding the first bend when BETTER BE QUICK shifted out. Stewards investigated a possible breach of the Push Out Rule however after viewing replays it was established that RASPALIA had never been racing closer in than three wide and BETTER BE QUICK had shifted out to fill the vacant position in the running line. Accordingly, no further action was necessary.

When questioned regarding the performance driver R Holmes advised the filly had over-raced in the score up and had worked hard in the early stages to obtain the lead. Mr Holmes added the filly had continued to over-race with the effort taking its toll over the concluding stages. Stewards will follow up with connections in the coming days.
