Stewards enquired into an incident approaching the 900 metre mark when DANGER AND DESIRE shifted inwards resulting in CAMP DAVID and SAM THE EAGLE being placed in restricted racing room and resulting in both those horses making heavy contact. After taking evidence from the riders, observation of the Stewards and viewing the patrol film it was the opinion of the Stewards that Apprentice T Bannon had allowed her mount DANGER AND DESIRE to shift inward when insufficiently clear of CAMP DAVID. Stewards issued a severe reprimand for careless riding under Australian Rule of Racing AR137(a) to Apprentice T Bannon.
Race 4: Class MAIDEN PLATE continued

After taking evidence from the riders, observation of the Stewards and viewing the patrol film it was the opinion of the Stewards that Jockey G Michaels had allowed his mount TENZERO to momentarily shift inward when insufficiently clear of NOBLEMAN’S FANCY.
