RACE 4 – THE STORM INSIDE PACE (2185MS)
General: The announcement of All Clear was delayed as the driver of the fifth placed horse NOMORECHEESEPLEASE (M. Miller) wished to view the Stewards patrol vision with reference as to whether WHERESTHETOWROPE (C. Peterson) had gained an advantage racing inside marker posts in the vicinity of the 400m. After doing so, driver M. Miller elected not to proceed with an objection and All Clear was given on the Judges numbers.
WHERESTHETOWROPE (C. Peterson) – Driver C. Peterson fined $150 under the provisions of R168(1)(a) for driving in a careless manner in that when racing out of the back straight on the final occasion he has moved into a run when there was insufficient room, resulting in contacting a number of marker pegs.

Harper was shown a section of Stewards Patrol vision, when racing towards the end of the front straight on the first occasion he had raced in close proximity to the sprint lane.
