AFFAIRE DE COVER – Trainer Troy Williams was fined the sum of $50 under rule 210 for failing to advise Chris Geary as the driver of the gelding by the prescribed time.  Shifted out when under pressure marginally in the latter stages of the home straight.  Post-race swab.

RED HARBOUR NZ – Driver Joshua Gallagher was questioned in regards to his tactics adopted on the gelding in particular concern to the Stewards was after being out of position at the start Mr Gallagher has pressed forward to find the lead at the 1200 metres before giving ground from the 400 metres to be beaten 45.5 metres.  Mr Gallagher stated that the horse paced and broke in the early part of the score up which left him somewhat out of position at the start.  Mr Gallagher further explained the gelding is not easy to drive and felt it was best to continue forward as the gelding has a tendency to break gait when being restrained. In the circumstances Stewards noted the comments of Mr Gallagher.  A post-race veterinary examination failed to reveal any obvious abnormalities.  In regards to the starting manners and the overall performance of RED HARBOUR NZ it will now be excluded right out of the draw in mobile starts and also required to perform one requalifying trial.
