A post race veterinary examination of LAST ECLIPSE failed to reveal any abnormalities.

Race 3: Landsborough Hardward 3yo & Up Maiden Plate – 1400m
1st – Darfur 2nd – Lady Monashee 3rd – Legal Jargon 4th – Kaadeema

A. Taylor, rider of FLEURIE, was dislodged when proceeding to the barriers without any apparent injury.

On return to scale a protest was lodged by D. Peisley, rider of the 4th placegetter, KAADEEMA, against DARFUR being declared the winner, alleging interference in the straight. After taking evidence from the parties concerned and viewing the film, stewards found that after passing the 250m, KAADEMA improved up on to the heels of DARFUR and had to be steadied and shifted out, and near the 50m when attempting doubtful run between DARFUR and LADY MONASHEE. DEFUR then shifted out, making contact with KAADEEMA, resulting in KAADEMA having to be steadied. Stewards believed that the ground lost in the incident near the 50m did not warrant a reversal of placings, and the Judge’s placings were confirmed. At a subsequent inquiry, stewards reprimanded S. Katsidis for failing to stop riding DARFUR when that gelding shifted out.
