Correct weight was delayed to allow stewards to determine if JOHNNY BE QUICK, which reared high in the barriers, dislodging its rider, had been afforded a fair start. Stewards, after reviewing the patrol footage and taking evidence from trainer Mr L. Hatch, starter Mr P. Brennan and jockey S. Bogenhuber, it was determined just prior to the start being effected the gelding commenced to rear and as a result dislodging its rider, becoming cast and taking no part in the event.
