Stewards spoke with drivers J Cox (MATAURA B B) and M Hurrell (NYLA) regarding the incident near the 800m where MATAURA B B broke. It was established that when Mr Hurrell pushed Mr Cox wider on the track at this stage, MATAURA B B had lay in simultaneously to NYLA laying out with both drivers immediately taking corrective action, however the sulky wheel of NYLA touched the near hind leg of MATAURA B B which broke in consequence. After interviewing both drivers and reviewing the footage Stewards could not apportion fault to any one horse or driver and accordingly took the matter no further.

TROJAN PRINCESS - hampered in the score up by a breaking runner however was in position at the start. Stewards questioned drivers D Dolan (TROJAN PRINCESS) and G O'Reilly (BITTER SWEET) regarding an incident near the 1600m when BITTER SWEET had to be restrained resulting in an easing of the pace with trailing runners being hampered to varying degrees. After viewing the replays and hearing from both drivers it was established that Mr O'Reilly had attempted to shift his runner inwards to obtain the trail however as PURE COURAGE had improved to his inside he was obliged to remain in the one out line with his horse then commencing to over-race and becoming awkwardly placed close to the wheel of TROJAN PRINCESS which had raced greenly when improving ahead of his runner. After considering the matter Stewards were unable to apportion blame to any one horse or driver and accordingly no further action was deemed necessary.
