SUPPLEMENTARY REPORT: Innisfail Saturday 10th December 2016
 
Stewards today inquired into the reason Jockey K. Stone (KRACCA JACK GIRL) was dislodged from that filly during a jump-out near the 400 metres. After hearing evidence from rider S. Wilson (GREY MISSILE) and rider K. Stone (KRACCA JACK GIRL) and viewing the patrol footage of the incident, stewards established that approaching the 400 metres KRACCA JACK GIRL commenced to hang out across the heels of GREY MISSILE, clipped the heels of that runner, blundered and dislodged rider K. Stone. As no one rider was at fault no further action was taken and the inquiry was concluded.
