Challenged for the lead leaving the 1600 m before crossing to the position in the lead near the 1300m. Under pressure and gave ground badly over the final 400m to be beaten in excess of 110 metres. An examination by the veterinarian subsequent to the race found no abnormalities at time of examination. Trainer advised that he was surprised the mare was beaten for speed at the start as he expected Party Polotix to lead. He could offer no tangible explanation for the performance as the mare had pulled up well after the event. Driver reported that Party Polotix was making abnormal respiratory sounds particularly over the final lap. After considering the matter Stewards declared Party Polotix ineligible until it trials satisfactorily.
