FLAMBOYANT MISS - Delay to correct weight when Stewards viewed the patrol film of the start and spoke to rider and trainer regarding the horse at the start. After doing so, it was established that the filly began awkwardly with the field when the start was effected and accordingly was deemed to be a runner. It was further established that the reins on the butterfly bit were not fitted correctly to FLAMBOYANT MISS which contributed to the rider having little control over the filly during the race.
