OUR MOMENTO was a late scratching at 8:42am on veterinary advice.. A veterinary certificate of fitness will be required before the mare starts again.
 
Stewards considered an objection lodged by App. Z White (CLASSAY) the rider of the 2nd placegetter against RED CHILL (R Goldsbury) being declared the winner on the grounds of alleged interference near the 1000m.. Stewards established that CLASSAY was momentarily steadied near the 1000m when awkwardly placed at the heels of RED CHILL which shifted in at that point.. App. R Goldsbury (RED CHILL) was reprimanded for this incident.. Bearing in mind that the incident took place at the 1000m, the minor nature of the interference and the way in which both horses finished the race off over the final 300m, Stewards could not be comfortably satisfied that the incident had a
material effect on the placings and subsequently dismissed the objection and declared correct weight on the numbers semaphored..
