A false start was declared at the first attempt due to GARONNE breasting the 30m barrier strand which then contacted that runner's legs. Driver K Green defended a subsequent charge under Rule 858(1)(a) alleging that she delayed the start when allowing her runner to contact the barrier strand resulting in a false start being declared. After viewing the replays and hearing evidence from the Stewards, Ms Green, Starter's Assistant T Dewe and Starter B Ward, the Adjudicative Committee found the charge proved and after considering submissions on penalty imposed a fine of $200.
