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.

BY CHANCE - broke in the score up and was out of position at the start. Raced wide from the 800m. Following the race driver M Hurrell advised Stewards he believed he had been denied a fair start when unable to take up his correct Unruly barrier position due to HERE'S JOHNY being in his position. Stewards requested a ruling from the Adjudicative Committee and after viewing replays and hearing from Mr Hurrell and Stewards, BY CHANCE was declared a non-runner acting under Rule 213(1)(j) due to being denied a fair start.
