GENERAL
 
Jockey J. Guthmann-Chester was stood down by the Club’s Doctor following his ride in Race 5 and replaced as per the Stewards Race Day Summary.
 
Stewards inquired into an alleged altercation between jockeys M. McGillivray and L. Tarrant following the running of Race 3.  After hearing all submissions both jockeys pleaded guilty to a charge under AR115 in that they did enter into a physical altercation. Subsequently L. Tarrant was fined $500 in that he was involved in a physical altercation and did push jockey McGillivray. Jockey M. McGillivray was fined $1000 in that he was involved in a physical altercation and did raise his elbow and strike jockey L. Tarrant. Both riders were advised of their review rights.
 
Race 1: Jim Beam Black Carnival Ball QTIS 2YO Colts & Geldings Handicap – 1000m
 
Stewards considered an objection lodged by J. Zielke the trainer of CLASS OF ROYALTY (A. Allen) which finished sixth against CHICO MILAGRO (S. Cormack) being declared the fifth placegetter on the grounds of alleged interference in the home straight. After taking evidence Stewards were of the opinion that approaching the 200m CHICO MILAGRO shifted outwards in an attempt to obtain clear running however, in so doing made contact with CLASS OF ROYALTY and carried that horse wider on the track. After considering the nature of the interference, the manner in which the horses finished the race off and the margin Stewards were of the view that had the interference not occurred CLASS OF ROYALTY would have beaten CHICO MILAGRO to the finish and as such the objection was upheld and placings amended to read:-
 
1st          DEVIL’S TEMPTATION
2nd       COULDN’T REFUSE
3rd       READY TO HUMBLE
4th       SCOUT
5th       CLASS OF ROYALTY
