Risky Investment Prior to the declaration of correct weight, stewards considered a request from co-trainer Mr T Button to have the colt declared a non-runner on the grounds of being denied a fair start.

Stewards further determined that the actions of the barrier attendant assisting the colt in the barriers were inconsequential and if not for the colt’s own barrier manners.
