On the announcement of correct weight, all monies invested on the horse were ordered to be refunded with the following deductions applicable: 3 cents in the dollar on the face value of all win bets and 4 cents in the dollar on the face value of all place bets made prior to 5.27pm.
Trainer C Hampton was advised a veterinary clearance must be provided prior to the gelding trialling or racing again and further that it must obtain a further barrier certificate prior to being permitted to race again. A post-race veterinary examination revealed the gelding to have abrasions to its off hind stifle off side fore cannon.
