RACE 7:TATTERSALLS GOLD CUP OPEN HANDICAP          1600 M

Stewards inquired into the circumstances where LOGAN STREET LION was hampered near the 300m. After taking evidence from Jockeys R Stewart (DIVAKARA), R Silvera Olivera (LOGAN STREET LION) and apprentice S Callow (AMENOPHIS) it was established that nearing the 300m DIVAKARA improved into a run between ASTRA STAR and LOGAN STREET LION whilst at the same time AMENOPHIS, which was racing to the outside of LOGAN STREET LION commenced to hang in and raced tight onto that runner. Soon after ASTRA STAR shifted outwards marginally which resulted in DIVAKARA shifting out and contacting LOGAN STREET LION which was hampered and in turn contact was made between that runner and AMENORPHIS, with AMENORPHIS becoming unbalanced for a number of strides. When considering the entire circumstances, the mannerisms of the runners involved and the marginal shift from ASTRA STAR out onto DIVAKARA, stewards could not be satisfied to the requisite standard that the actions of jockey R Stewart were solely responsible for the incident, however the rider was issued with a reprimand under AR 131(a) in this instance.
