		TURNPIKE JOE - held up early and middle stages of the run home. Driver D Butcher was warned for contacting the sulky wheel of PETER FORSBERG passing the 50m. In considering this matter Stewards took into account the minimal consequential effects. Following the normal post meeting review of this race Stewards questioned Driver D Butcher (TURNPIKE JOE) regarding the tactics he adopted during this event. Mr Butcher stated that TURNPIKE JOE, which was having its fourth race day start, was competing against far more seasoned horses so he had elected to go back at the start before shifting down on to the marker line near the 2200m to follow runners which he rated as the main chances. Mr Butcher further stated that although he had the opportunity to shift out to follow PETER FORSBERG near the 1300m he decided not to do so given that gelding's recent performances. Mr Butcher then explained that he had been content to remain on the marker line racing down the back the final time and on the home turn given the strong tempo throughout but had then had difficulty obtaining clear running until approaching the 50m mark. After considering Mr Butcher's explanation, Stewards were satisfied that the tactics he adopted were not so unreasonable given the circumstances as to be culpable and took the matter no further other than to note Mr Butcher's comments.
