Prior to the running of Race 1 Stewards were advised by Trainer Mr B Johnson’s Representative Mr Dale Ward that his horse PETRIAS HEART was injured in transit and was a late scratching. The scratching was not reflected on the Racing Australia’s website. The information received from the Stable was accepted by Stewards and the horse was declared a late scratching at 12.30pm. As the betting on the race had commenced the following deductions did apply- Win- 0c, 7c the place,
13c the place on the second placegetter and as there were insufficient runners in the event prior to the scratching, no third deduction was required.
 
Stewards were advised by Apprentice Jockey Gregory Hayes that he had changed his riding weight earlier in the week and that he was able to claim only 1.5 kilograms of his allotted 4.0 kilogram claim in Race 1. Stewards accepted Apprentice Jockey Hayes explanation and took no further action in relation to this matter.
