MONTAGE - contacted the near side sulky wheel of CLAASEE when trailing that runner near the 1200m when driver D Anderson was activating gear, then paced roughly briefly hampering trailing runners. Mr Anderson, assisted by B Williamson, defended a charge under Rule 869(3)(b) alleging that he drove carelessly in this incident. After viewing the replays and hearing evidence from all parties the Adjudicative Committee found the charge proved and following penalty submissions imposed a fine of $250.

CLAASEE - driver R McIlwrick reported that he sustained a punctured sulky tyre which came off the rim racing into the first bend when racing to the inside of TUNEINSPORTSFANS, with the mare being retired from the race. After speaking with drivers R McIlwrick and S Ottley (TUNEINSPORTSFANS) and viewing the replays which proved inconclusive, Stewards were unable to apportion fault to any one horse or driver and accordingly took the matter no further.

SHERWOOD MAGGIE - raced wide early. Over-raced middle stages. Hampered by a weakening runner in the early and middle stages of the run home placing driver C Dalgety in some difficulty, resulting in the gelding striking the sulky wheel of FOREVER ARDEN. Stewards questioned junior driver C Dalgety regarding the tactics he adopted during the race, particularly near the 600m, when he allowed his runner to be covered by the sharply improving JENNY GUMP. Mr Dalgety explained that the mare was hanging on the right rein and that he was reluctant to shift three wide at that stage of the race, given the distance remaining to the winning post. Stewards noted Mr Dalgety's explanation and took into account the manner the runner had been driven at its most recent start.
