Following the running of race two, Stewards and a delegation of senior riders inspected an area of the track passing the crossing near the 1100m, where two runners in Race 2 had put in awkward strides. Subsequently, riders in general discussed the matter and expressed the view it was not safe to ride across this section of the track in a race. After consultation with trainers and jockeys and acting under AR21(f)(i), Stewards postponed this race to a later date.

She said shortly after leaving the gates she took hold of the colt and settled at the rear of the field, some lengths behind the second last horse. She added after niggling GOLD PRINCE passing the 500m, the colt responded and made good ground in the straight. Apprentice Busuttin acknowledged she got too far back and given this was only her second race ride, Stewards took no action, however; brought the matter to the attention of the RQ apprentice jockey mentor S.
