Following the disappointing performance of WITH MY (B. Hull), trainer B. McLachlan reported that whilst the horse had reasonable form on rain-affected tracks, it failed to handle the conditions of today's track. He also indicated that it was intended that the horse would be retired after today's race.

PRANG was examined by the Club's veterinary surgeon after A. Pattillo had dismounted from the horse as he felt there may have been something amiss with the horse or its plates.

1st - Atapi 2nd - Thee Auld Hussie 3rd - Argyle Lass 4th - Riseupsinging

Correct weight was delayed to enable stewards, jockey A. Pattillo and trainer D. Forster the oppoortunity to view the video footage where a patron ran on to the track near the 200m. In this incident A. Pattillo claimed that his mount, GLORIOUS LADY, had been affected by the person running on to the track and had denied him the opportunity of finishing closer. After viewing the film and hearing evidence, stewards were not satisfied that the incident materially affected the placing of GLORIOUS LADY and correct weight was declared on the Judge's placings. At a subsequent inquiry stewards interviewed Club Chief Executive Mr M. Sullivan, security company manager Mr Alan Baxter and Senior Constable Amanda Taylor of Kawana police in relation to the apprehension of a person. Following this interview, the stewards acknowledged that police action was pending and will await a report from the Queensland Police Service prior to taking any further action.
