MR PRESIDENT - broke when racing to the outside of CRACKLE N CRUNCH and inside of JACCKA EVAN near the 1700m losing ground. Stewards firstly reviewed and were satisfied that driver G Thornley (CRACKLE N CRUNCH) had commenced to shift ground outwards prior to MR PRESIDENT reaching her sulky wheel, accordingly no further action was required. Stewards then questioned drivers M Hill (MR PRESIDENT) and D Anderson (JACCKA EVAN) assisted by N Williamson and G Thornley assisted by S Ottley in relation to the incident where MR PRESIDENT broke near the 1700m. After speaking with all drivers it was established that after initially shifting outwards CRACKLE N CRUNCH had then hung outwards despite Miss Thornley's attempt to shift the gelding inwards. Stewards were satisfied no driver was found to be a fault and took the matter no further.
