App C McIver, the rider of ENCORES AND ROSES was advised to exercise more care in similar circumstances.

Due to a misunderstanding D Evans was declared as the rider of NORTHERN SPIRIT and was replaced by G Booth.

On returning to scale G Booth, the rider of NORTHERN SPIRIT, and N Mannion, the trainer of NORTHERN SPIRIT, requested to view the official race film to determine if that horse was afforded a fair start. After listening to all of the evidence and viewing the official race film, steward’s were of the opinion that while NORTHERN SPIRIT was slightly inconvenienced by the barrier gates which were marginally slow to open, NORTHERN SPIRIT was further hampered by IN COBARGO (App C McIver) which jumped in making heavy contact with that runner, stewards could not be satisfied the barrier gates could be attributed to the horses finishing position and as such NORTHERN SPIRIT was declared a runner and correct weight was posted.

IN COBARGO (App C McIver) raced wide for the majority of the race.




















ALL WINNERS WERE SENT TO BE SWABBED
