Racing Incident Report
Horse No 2 SUPER SIXTY (J071) H Bowman Shifted in at the start and was bumped.
Prior to declaring weighed-in the Stewards viewed the patrol films to ascertain if there were grounds for a protest/objection on behalf of the 4th placegetter SUPER SIXTY after being steadied at the 150 Metres.
When the Stewards were satisfied SUPER SIXTY had not established clear running between BEAUTY THUNDER and ZETA HEDGE they declined a protest/objection.
When questioned H Bowman stated that after following ZETA HEDGE into the Home Straight he observed that runner lay out on straightening and therefore he elected to endeavour to improve between ZETA HEDGE and BEAUTY THUNDER.
He said when ZETA HEDGE then shifted in at the 250 Metres SUPER SIXTY was held up for clear running between the 250 Metres and the 150 Metres and when BEAUTY THUNDER shifted out slightly he was obliged to steady his mount at the 150 Metres.
C L Chau, rider of ZETA HEDGE, was advised to exercise more care.
