GIDEONS - Momentarily shifted in near the 900m, tightening ADOUR ROCKET to its inside before being corrected by its jockey. Jockey J. Murphy, rider of GIDEONS, was advised  to exercise greater care in similar circumstances.  Approximately 250m after the finishing line the gelding choked down and collapsed, dislodging its rider. A post race veterinary examination revealed the horse to have a breathing disorder and connections were advised that a veterinary clearance would be required including the results of a dynamic scope under stress prior to its next race start.

Post the running of this event when heavy rain persisted all races were rescheduled back one time slot.  
 
Stewards  then  assessed the track  and determined that the surface was unsafe for racing due to 30 mls of rain and pooling water at several sections of the track. The remainder of the meeting was abandoned at 2.10 pm.
