SUPPLEMENTARY REPORT

Prior to this meeting Stewards established that a clerical error had been made in the allocation of weight to BLUBYTWO and SEALEGS LILLY (Race 1).

Race 1: ELDERS/ WILLIAMS HALL CHADWICK QTIS MAIDEN PLATE 1000M

The declaration of correct weight was delayed to allow stewards hear a submission from trainer W. Baker and Jockey T. Banks to have SPURTING COLOURS declared a non-runner as its barrier did not open with the field. Stewards heard the application and after viewing the patrol film available to them established the barrier of SPURTING COLOURS did not open with the remainder of the field and it was the opinion of stewards the horse was not afforded a fair start. The horse was subsequently declared a non-runner and correct weight was then declared with the following deductions applicable:

Win - 7c, Place - 18c
2nd Place - 18c
3rd Place - 18c.

Banks, stewards then viewed the patrol film available to them and under AR 134A declared the horse a non-runner as its barrier had not opened and therefore, it had been denied a fair start. Correct weight was declared with the following deductions to apply after the withdrawal of COURTMAN and FERRIGNO:
