|---|---|
| ARIELLA - Driver S Phelan was spoken to advisedly for using his whip with more than a wrist flicking motion. | |
| Race 2 LONE STAR ALEX PARK BOOK YOUR CHRISTMAS PARTY MOB PACE | |
|---|---|
| ADIEU FLIRT - broke in the score-up free of interference and trailed the field throughout. The mare was declared Unruly for mobile starts. | |
| MISTER SLICK - over-raced when being restrained after the start. | |
| EMMBER - Driver M White advised that one of the removable deafeners failed to release after the activation cord became entangled. | |

| SHEZADEAL - held up rounding the final turn. | |
| Race 4 FRESHER FOODS TROT | |
|---|---|
| RAIN MIST AND MUSCLE - held up prior to the passing lane. | |
| LISA MARIE P - Driver M Perriton was shown the video coverage of her drive over the concluding stages and spoken to advisedly in regard to loose reining and her decision to shift ground outwards. | |
| SKEE KING - weakened passing the 800 metres and failed to be competitive after that point. A post race veterinary examination revealed no abnormality. A warning was placed on the gelding's race performance record. | |
| ROSIE - lay in rounding the final bend and contacted track markers. | |
| ISAAC H - raced wide early stages. | |
| MAJESTIC HANOVER - Driver P Ferguson reported that he did not activate the removable deafeners due to having the field covered. | |
| Race 5 LINCOLN FARMS MOBILE PACE | |
|---|---|
| MISS TAKEN - held up rounding the final turn. | |
| EL QUESTRO - lay in and over-raced over the early stages. | |
| KAYLA MAGUIRE - over-raced middle stages. | |

| HIGHVIEW JUSTICE - over-raced middle stages. | |
| IDEAL AGENT - held up final turn and in the early stages of the run home. | |
| SMOKINHOTCHEDDAR - broke at the start losing ground. Authorisation of 1st placing was withheld until the Stewards were satisfied that the mare had complied with the Breaking Horses Regulation. A warning was placed on the mare's mobile barrier manners. | |
| Race 6 DAWSON HARFORD LTD HANDICAP TROT | |
|---|---|
| DELSON - broke near the 450 metres losing all chance. | |
| XEBEC - broke near the 1550 metres losing ground. When questioned Driver A Herlihy advised that as he was improving forward wider on the track he took hold of the gelding's head and in response it over-raced, shifted inwards, brushing the wheel of the sulky of KINGS LANDING and then lost its gait. XEBEC wears a Murphy Blind on the off side therefore could not see the sulky in front of it and this has contributed to the incident. | |
| SERTORIUS - Driver Z Butcher was shown the video coverage of his drive and reminded of his obligations in regard to half carting. | |
