Supplementary Report: Einasgleigh 19th April 2014; Race 2 Benchmark 55 1020 metres:
Stewards today concluded an inquiry into the reason jockey K Rockett was dislodged from BUSH VERSION near the 500m. After taking evidence from jockey Rockett and viewing the official patrol films, it was established that approaching the 500m jockey Rockett attempted to shift BUSH VERSION outwards in an attempt to obtain clear running and in doing so his weight became unbalanced in the saddle and he lost the use of his near side iron and ultimately was dislodged shortly after.
