TURBO TOMMY – Stewards questioned driver J Davis on his driving tactics adopted from the 600 metres, as to whether or not there was an opportunity to shift his runner wider on the track to obtain clear running at that point. Mr Davis stated that at that point of the event the gelding was travelling ok however he elected to shift down the track to the marker pegs behind IM CAPTAIN MAX NZ as he felt that that runner had good form leading into the event as well as the marker pegs being the shortest way home. Upon entry to the home straight when looking to obtain clear running CHAP DADDY had moved down the track not allowing Mr Davis to shift his runner wider at that point resulting in him shifting to the inside of IM CAPTAIN MAX NZ to obtain clear running.
