Stewards allowed jockey S Pawsey to ride CORDITE 0.5kg over its declared weight as no other rider was available. Stewards accepted the explanation from jockey Pawsey regarding being overweight.

Near the 900m, SO DOTTI [M Atkinson] had to be eased when racing in restricted room.
DRAGON KEEPER [K Stone] raced wide throughout.
UNICALEO [N Bin Yadi] raced wide rounding the home turn.
Stewards questioned jockeys K Stone, S Pawsey and M Atkinson regarding an incident at approximately the 150m mark, where SO DOTTI [M Atkinson] had to be severely checked when tightened for room between CORDITE [S Pawsey] and DRAGON KEEPER [K Stone]. Jockey K Stone pleaded guilty to a charge under AR137a, in that whilst riding DRAGON KEEPER along, he shifted in when insufficiently clear of SO DOTTI, which had to be severely checked as a result. After taking into account jockey Stone’s good record and submissions to penalty, his licence to ride in races was suspended commencing midnight Saturday 10th November 2012 and to expire at midnight Saturday 17th November 2012 (2NQ meetings).
UNICALEO [N Bin Yadi] laid in under pressure in the home straight.

Race 3: Cellarbrations Maiden Plate 960m
1st: Zip ‘n’ Zizz 2nd: La Lionesse 3rd: Let’s Pocket 4th: Dadon

Upon jumping, CALL A CAB [M Atkinson] jumped outwards and FORTRUS LAD [I Toward] jumped inwards which caused VAULTING QUEEN [N Bin Yadi], VILLAGE COMMAND [R Ryan] and PLAY A KING [S Pawsey] to be tightened.

Prior to the gates opening, the tongue tie on FRED THE LEGION [N Bin Yadi] came undone and subsequently the gelding raced without that gear.

PHYSICS [B Swaffer] reared at the start.
A post race veterinary examination of MISS RUBINSTEIN revealed the mare to have been galloped on.
