VADAMAR was slow to begin. Near the 500 Metres, TRAILBLAZER and VADAMAR were hampered when crowded for room between SARAH LYNX which shifted in slightly as it was commencing to give ground and RED CADEAUX (R Moore) which shifted out. The tightening to VADAMAR was exacerbated when it made contact with the hindquarters of SARAH LYNX, resulting in that horse being turned in across the running of VADAMAR. R Moore was advised that whilst there was a contribution to the incident from SARAH LYNX shifting in, nonetheless the incident had occurred principally as a result of RED CADEAUX shifting out. R Moore was reprimanded and advised in future to ensure that he leaves sufficient room for his fellow riders in similar circumstances. SILVER POND was unable to obtain clear running until passing the 150 Metres. For the majority of the race, REDWOOD travelled wide and without cover. A veterinary inspection of CAMPANOLOGIST and SARAH LYNX after the race did not show any significant findings. CAMPANOLOGIST, DUNADEN and THUMBS UP were sent for sampling.
