THE GOLDEN SCENERY (E379): No report. MICKLEY (K082): Noted to have lost its left front plate after the race. TOURBILLON PRINCE (H122): After the event L Ferraris stated that whilst his mount was able to hold the lead in the early stages, approaching the 1000 Metres he elected to allow CALL ME TOPSEED and KOLACHI to cross his mount as he felt the pace would have been too strong if he contested the lead. He said after being crossed by those runners leaving the 1000 Metres his mount then travelled comfortably thereafter. He added entering the Home Straight TOURBILLON PRINCE was held up for clear running behind those runners until near the 350 Metres where it responded only fairly to his riding thereafter. A veterinary inspection immediately following the race found that horse to be a "roarer” which had previously been reported. ATULLIBIGEAL (G173): No report. YOUNG ACHIEVER (J291): Trainer J Richards was fined the sum of $3,000 for presenting the horse with a ring bit which was not part of the horse’s approved racing gear.
