The start was delayed when BLUE BOY MCCOMBE became fractious en route to the barriers dislodging its rider. Rider N Morton was examined by the QAS and was unable to fulfil her riding engagement.

Deductions applicable to bets placed on winner and placegetters prior to 2:48pm:
 
14 cents in the dollar on the face value of win bets
19 cents in the dollar on the face value of place bets
 
N Morton was advised that she must obtain a medical clearance before resuming riding.
 
A post race veterinary examination of BLUE BOY MCCOMBE identified the presence of blood in one nostril due to a small laceration it received whilst fractious. In the opinion of the Veterinary Surgeon such bleeding was attributable to external trauma.
 
The start was further delayed when THE DEVASTATOR refused to load and as a result the mare was declared a late scratching by way of the Stewards at 2:56pm. All monies invested on mare were ordered to be refunded. Deductions applicable to bets placed on winner and placegetters prior to 2:56pm:
