RACE 6:THE CLUB BEAUDESERT RATINGS BAND 0 - 58 HANDICAP   1400 M

Prior to correct weight, Stewards viewed the official footage of the start where it was established that the gates of SEA WARNING opened slightly earlier than the remaining of the field. As a consequence, SEA WARNING was slow into stride. After consideration, Stewards were of the view that SEA WARNING gained no unfair advantage from the incident and declared the horse a starter.
 
CAUSEWAYS was declared a late withdrawal at 2:40pm when it was found that the saddle had not been collected after App J. Busuttin had weighed and consequently was left with insufficient time to saddle and present the gelding with 9 minutes prior to start time. After considering all the evidence, Trainer V. Venkaya was severely reprimanded pursuant to AR194 for failing to present CAUSEWAYS to the mounting yard 15minutes prior to its race time.
 
On the declaration of correct weight, Stewards ordered all bets on CAUSEWAYS to be refunded in full with the following deductions to apply:
1st - WHISTLING SPIRIT – 4c win, 4c place.
2nd - LENNYSTAR – 6c place.
