MR MISUNDERSTOOD was subsequently declared a late scratching at 12.59 p.m. acting on veterinary advice.

Deductions applicable to bets placed on winner and placegetters prior to 12.59 p.m.:-
 
6 cents in the dollar for the win - #8 (MISS SARA)
6 cents in the dollar for place of winner - #8 (MISS SARA)
5 cents in the dollar for the 2nd place - #4 (LILAKAI)
12 cents in the dollar for the 3rd place - #3 (LA FIREBIRD)
 
Trainer M. Frappell was advised that he must obtain a further barrier certificate and produce a veterinary clearance for MR MISUNDERSTOOD prior to the gelding racing again. Mr Frappell advised it would now be his intention to send the gelding for a spell.  
 
SAVVY ACQUISITION – Overraced in the early stages.
 
CORONATION GLADE – Overraced in the early stages.
 
WENDOUREE RED – When overracing shifted out near the 1300m and was allowed to stride forward outside the leader near the 1200m.
 
LA FIREBIRD – Due to the slow tempo had to be restrained from the heels of LILAKAI on a number of occasions near the 1300m.  Improved near the 800m between SPECIAL THING and LILAKI, where there was insufficient room and had to be restrained.
 
 
Race 2: LUNAR NEW YEAR RACEDAY CLASS 5 PLATE – 1650M
 
BRATISLAVA – Raced wide from the 1200m, then raced three wide and was allowed to stride forward to race outside the leader near the 900m.
 
 
Race 3: BRC MEMBERSHIPS COLTS, GELDINGS & ENTIRES CLASS 3 PLATE – 1110M
 
KNOCK TOFF – Held up rounding the home turn and until near the 200m where it improved into a narrow run after passing the 100m and soon afterwards was brushed by MAKES YOU THINK, which shifted out slightly under pressure.
 
CRAZY POPS – Raced three wide without cover throughout.
 
KID FLASH – Stewards questioned jockey J. Lloyd regarding the reason for him restraining his mount at the start. Jockey Lloyd stated it was his intention to trail MAKES YOU THINK throughout, which had drawn to his inside, hoping that runner would settle outside the leader MEET MR TAYLOR. Jockey Lloyd added that when ONE STRYKE crossed MAKES YOU THINK near the 800m this resulted in him settling at the rear of the field, albeit only three lengths from the leading division. Jockey Lloyd further added that he was able to improve into the race from the 600m and he was mindful to maintain cover until straightening as KID FLASH was inclined to lay out at its most previous start when exposed rounding the home turn.  
 
Following the running of this event the track was upgraded to a Good 3.
