Stewards questioned jockey J. McKinnon regarding his handling of DIRTY HARRIET, especially after passing the 600m until the winning post. J. McKinnon stated that his instructions were to jump the horse out and have it positioned up near the lead, however DIRTY HARRIET did not begin well and he was obliged to take up a rearward position. He further added that, in his opinion, the horse raced ungenerously from near the 700m but that when he applied some pressure near that point the filly failed to respond to his riding. He further added that he placed DIRTY HARRIET under pressure shortly after straightening however believed that the horse was still racing ungenerously and might have shifted out abruptly if further tested with the whip. Trainer D. Duke confirmed the instructions however added that the horse had a tendency to race erratically in the 3 trials previous to this event. Stewards noted their explanations, however advised Mr Duke that the filly must trial and produce to the stewards a veterinary clearance prior to the horse’s next race start.
