Race 1: MOUNT FRANKLIN CLASS 3 PLATE – 1110M
 
The start of this race was delayed when SANGLIER was reluctant to leave the mounting enclosure. As SANGLIER was proving difficult to load, further delaying the start, stewards acceded to a request to allow the gelding to race without the cross-over nose band, which was advertised as part of its gear. Trainer M. Costa’s representative was advised that a warning would be placed on the gelding.

Murphy, the rider of PRINCE OF TIE, was advised to provide greater clearance when shifting ground. When asked to explain the horse’s disappointing performance, jockey R. Maloney stated that the gelding pulled hard during the race and was inclined to hang in, which in his view had a bearing on the manner in which the horse finished the race off.
 
PRINCE OF TIE – Apprentice J. Murphy was fined $300 for using the whip 10 times prior to the 100m.
 
VENI VIDI VICI – Slow to begin. Apprentice M. Wishart was reprimanded for using the whip 6 times prior to the 100m.
