Race 1: MICHAEL WRONA 1983 KILCOY MAIDEN PLATE – 1060M

SCRUFF’N’STUFF – Stood flat-footed and was slow to begin. Stewards questioned apprentice A. Patis regarding her riding over the concluding stages. She stated that approaching the 100m she shifted to the inside of OLYMPIC DAWN to obtain clear running and was disappointed. She then elected to shift her mount out and was further disappointed when that runner shifted out, resulting in her mount being unable to be fully tested over the concluding stages.

Race 2: THANKS TATTERSALLS RACING CLUB MAIDEN H'CAP – 1500M
 
The declaration of correct weight was delayed after the Judges notified stewards that an error had been made in the placings originally semaphored for 1st and 2nd. Connections of both runners were given an opportunity to view the photo finish image and were satisfied with the Judges’ amended placings of SHIVAJI (1st) and DEBONAIR DES (2nd) and accordingly correct weight was declared on the placings 11, 13, 4 and 12.

Race 4: SEARLE FAMILY KILCOY BENCHMARK 55 H'CAP – 1500M
 
The declaration of correct weight was delayed to allow H. Phillips, the rider of 2nd placegetter MODERN FAMILY, to view the stewards’ patrol footage near the 1000m to determine whether she had grounds on which to lodge an objection against the winner DER SIEGER. After viewing the videos jockey Phillips indicated that she did not wish to proceed and correct weight was declared on the Judge’s placings.
