SWEET AS LOU- Showed gate speed to lead the event.

DONE WELL- Left a trailing position to raced three wide off the back straight to receive the bell and the driver used the whip on numerous occasions in an attempt to progress forward. Stewards immediately following the running of the event questioned driver Tiarna Ford in the presence of driver Dylan Ford as advocate into reasons why she drove so aggressively off the back to receive the bell and stopped momentarily driving at the winning post with a lap to go.
