Driver K. Symington (ROMAN REIGN) was cautioned for the manner he shifted outwards racing out of the back straight on the final occasion, which caused JESSE ALLWOOD (D. Harper) to be tightened and raced roughly for a short distance.
RACE 8 – GREAT SOUTHERN WASTE DISPOSAL 2YO FILLIES MAIDEN PACE (2242M2)
Stewards inquired into an incident racing in the home straight where QUATTROSE (D. Harper) was tightened and placed in restricted room. After reviewing the official patrol footage and taking evidence from Drivers D. Miller (ALEXANDRA THEGREAT) and D. Harper (QUATTROSE) it was established that as ALEXANDRA THEGREAT had begun to shift outwards, QUATTROSE had been inclined to hang inwards and as SEAGRASS (T. Wheeler) was improving to that filly’s outside, QUATTROSE was placed in restricted room and was steadied by its driver. After considering all evidence and the racing manner of QUATTROSE no further action was taken, other to advise Driver D. Miller to ensure he exercises care when shifting outwards in future.
