CAUGHT RED HANDED – Raced very wide throughout. Stewards questioned App. S. Wilcock, in the presence of Apprentice Jockey Advocate B. Saunders in relation to her riding in a very wide position throughout. She advised that after beginning from wide barrier she elected to settle in a wide position in an attempt to keep the gelding balanced as she found it to be racing green, in doing so it would allow the gelding to travel more comfortably throughout. Having had the opportunity to review the film App. Wilcock agreed that she had erred in settling in very wide position and that she should have attempted to find a closer position to the rail during the event. Stewards were mindful of App. Willock’s inexperience as an apprentice rider and therefore took the matter no further.

On return to scale, J. King rider of the fifth placegetter, MAC’S BOY lodged an objection against YOUL BEATEM being declared the winner, alleging interference leaving the 150m. After taking evidence from all parties and viewing the patrol footage, Stewards could not be satisfied that the minimal interference suffered by MAC’S BOY leaving the 150m was sufficient to alter the placings bearing in mind the margin between the runner at the conclusion of the event. Therefore stewards dismissed the objection.
