When passing the 400m, P Thureson the rider of JACKSONS BANKROLL, shifted out to avoid the heels of the tiring CHADLIN.

P Thureson was cautioned in this incident.
Jockey P Thureson was further cautioned in that when shifting out to obtain clear running, approaching the 300m, he has caused THE KNACK to be tightened for room and be eased.
Prior to correct weight being given a protest was lodged by R Tilley the rider of the second placegetter ALESSI against ZACSAWAY being placed first, alleging interference in the home straight. After hearing evidence from both parties the stewards found that the ground lost in the incident was in excess of the winning margin and subsequently the protest was upheld and the placing reversed.
At a subsequent inquiry Jockey A Morrison was reminded of his obligations when his mount is shifting ground.
When pulling up, R McMaster rider of BONNECAY was dislodged when his iron broke. As a consequence he injured his right knee and was stood down by the clubs ambulance officer. Due to there being no other riders available jockey McMasters remaining mounts were declared late scratching at 2:55pm.
