Race 4: THE ZONTA CENTENNIAL BENCHMARK 58 H'CAP – 1650M
 
The declaration of correct weight was delayed when stewards reviewed the start of the race. Trainer A. Plumb, apprentice N. Fazackerley and starter K. Watson were also present. On a review of the patrol footage it was established that SAN PIERRE, which had drawn the widest barrier, being barrier 9, in fact started from barrier 10 and had a vacant stall to its inside. Prior to the start of the event, the Chairman of Stewards notified the starter via two-way to alert him that there was a vacant stall, however, shortly after, the start was effected. Trainer A. Plumb and stewards were satisfied that notwithstanding the horse starting one barrier wider than it should have, the horse’s chances had not been materially affected. When questioned as to why his mount started from the incorrect gate, apprentice N. Fazackerley stated that he notified barrier staff that he was to start from barrier 9, however, he was placed one barrier wider in barrier 10. Stewards intend to review the circumstances of the incident.
