SUPPLEMENTARY REPORT: Saturday 25th June 2016:
 
Race 4:
 
Stewards opened an inquiry into an incident that occurred near the 100 metres, when Jockey D. Hayse was dislodged from CHARCOAL MELODY. After taking evidence from the riders and viewing of the patrol films, it was established that near the 200 metres CHARCOAL MELODY shifted out and made contact with KUAIMA (Jockey D. Simmons), at which time Jockey S. Sheargold's shifted in and tightened that runner. CHARCOAL MELODY shifted back in onto FAST FOCUS (App. Q. Krogh), which near the 150 metres which was racing ungenerously, shifted out and at the same time CHARCOAL MELODY laid in which caused it to clipped heels, blundered and Jockey Hayse to be dislodged. As Stewards could not attribute responsibility to one rider, no action was taken in regard to Jockey Hayse being dislodged, however Jockey Sheargold was reprimanded.
