Driver S Ottley reported that because of this she had not released the gelding's deafeners or activated the sliding blinds.

A warning was placed on the mare's racing performance.
SKYLINE - when spoken to regarding the performance of this gelding, driver C Smith reported his horse to have travelled lethargically throughout and proved disappointing when asked for an effort. The connections reported it was their intention to now spell the runner.
BRIGHT GLOW - lay inwards leaving the final bend contacting several track markers in consequence.
HEAVENLY LOVE - trotted roughly and broke over the concluding stages. Authorisation of 4th placing was withheld until Stewards confirmed the gelding had complied with the Breaking Horse Regulations. Received veterinary treatment for a laceration to the left front pastern following the race.
