Authorisation of this runner's 5th placing was withheld to enable Stewards to view the available footage, however, after doing so Stewards could not determine whether the gelding had failed to comply with the Breaking Horses Regulation so took the matter no further.
UNIQUE MARSHALL - broke rounding the first turn before being taken up the track losing considerable ground before settling. Authorisation of this runner's 4th placing was withheld until Stewards had the opportunity to view the available footage to ascertain whether the gelding had complied with the Breaking Horses Regulation. After viewing the replays Stewards exercised discretion and authorised the gelding's 4th placing.
