Race 3: TAB MAIDEN H’CAP – 1200M
 
Prior to the declaration of correct weight, Apprentice S. Tomlinson made application to have ROYAL ASSASSIN declared a non-runner on the grounds that the horse’s barrier gate had been slow to open which resulted in his mount being denied a fair start. After viewing the patrol footage, Stewards agreed with Apprentice Tomlinson’s assessment that the horse had been denied a fair start, and therefore declared the horse a non-runner under the provisions of AR. 204(1)(c). Stewards further ordered that all monies invested on the horse be refunded with the following deductions to apply:
 
20 cents in the dollar for the win #3
26 cents in the dollar for place of winner #3
7 cents in the dollar for 2nd place #2
33 cents in the dollar for 3rd place #10
