Authorisation of this runner's 1st placing was withheld until Stewards were satisfied the gelding had complied with the Breaking Horses Regulation in the early stages. Stewards investigated a perceived breach of the Push Out Rule racing into the first bend after R McIlwrick (FOREVER ARDEN) shifted outwards when racing to the inside of ROBYNS ART. After viewing replays and hearing from Driver K Tomlinson (ROBYNS ART), it was established that ROBYNS ART had been racing in the three wide line and had not been forced wider by FOREVER ARDEN. Accordingly, Stewards took the matter no further.
