As apprentice T. Chambers was unable to claim her full allowance, apprentice S. Holcombe was substituted as the rider of HEARTLAND. T. Chambers was fined $200.

The start was delayed due to KOOROONG AVENUE having to undergo farrier attention. When the horse was presented in the enclosure, KOOROONG AVENUE was found to have been incorrectly saddled by the trainer and the stewards therefore ordered the horse be withdrawn at 12.30 pm. Subsequent to the event, all monies invested on KOOROONG AVENUE were ordered to be refunded, with deductions of 8 cents in the dollar on the face value of win and place bets. Trainer T. Stevens subsequently pleaded guilty to a charge under AR140A and fined $300, in that he presented KOOROONG AVENUE to the enclosure incorrectly saddled. Trainer T. Stevens was also placed on notice that should he again present a horse to the enclosure incorrectly saddled, he would be directed to show cause as to why his licence should not be downgraded or revoked.
