Trainer M Williamson advised that he would give consideration to removing the blinds from the filly for future starts.

TABASCO - weakened final bend. A post-race Veterinary examination revealed no abnormality. Stewards questioned junior driver M Hill, assisted by senior driver M Hurrell, regarding his tactics during the race, in particular his decision not to relinquish the lead and take a trail in the middle stages when the opportunity existed. Mr Hill explained that his instructions were to lead if possible which he was able to do after 400m. Mr Hill further stated that he tried to restrain his runner when STILL ROCKIN (R Gutsell) made an attempt on the lead near the 1600m and although gaining an advantage STILL ROCKIN was unable to get a full length in front. This occurred on several other occasions over the next 800m. When questioned Mr Gutsell confirmed that STILL ROCKIN was difficult to drive and with the gelding wearing a murphy blind on the near side it relaxes when it cannot see other horses. Stewards accepted the explanations of both drivers and took the matter no further other than to note the circumstances.
RACK'EM UP - broke in the score up however was in position at the Candy Pole. Over-raced through the middle stages. Driver C Dalgety advised he did not activate the removable deafeners due to having the field covered.
RACK'EM UP - broke at the start losing ground. Broke again near the 2000m losing ground. Broke on a further occasion near the 450m losing all chance. A warning was placed on the racing record of the gelding.
RACK'EM UP - checked by an inside runner at the start losing ground. Over-raced middle stages. Broke near the 400m checking trailing runners losing all chance. A warning was placed on the racing record of the gelding. A clip on the breastplate broke during the running. Driver A Drake admitted a breach of Rule 869(2) and the Whip and Rein Regulations in that he used his whip when out of contention. After viewing the replays and hearing submissions on penalty, the Adjudicative Committee imposed a fine of $200.
RACK'EM UP - fractious prior to the start. Broke at the start losing ground. A warning was placed on the barrier record of the gelding. Over-raced middle stages.
HERB - eased down from near the 800m when the off side tyre and tube came off the rim. Driver P Hunter reported that the sulky tyre had deflated free of contact near the 1400m.
