Hughes, the rider of I'M BUSY, pleaded guilty to a charge of careless riding under AR. 137(a) in that approaching the 100m he permitted his mount to shift in whilst riding it along with the whip when insufficiently clear of SHEER ECHELON, causing that runner to be tightened between I'M BUSY and SILVERZEN (P. Hammersley), resulting in SHEER ECHELON having to be steadied and losing its rightful running. M. Hughes' licence to ride in races was suspended for a period of 6 meetings, to commence at midnight on Sunday, 6 February, and expire at midnight on Wednesday, 16 February 2011.

Holder reported that CUTLET had an abnormal breathing noise throughout running. Trainer J. McLachlan advised stewards that he will have the horse scoped in days subsequent to the event and undertook to report to stewards the results of that examination.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                          SARGASSO overraced during the early stages and at a point near the 800m improved up on to the heels of FANTASTIC CARAT (J. Wood) and was checked. SARGASSO continued to overrace throughout the event, placing it at a disadvantage.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                          COMAHNI (C. Priest), NOISY SCOOTER (J. Holder) and TYPHOON FURY raced wide throughout.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                          SARGASSO, TOY RULER (E.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                          Rounding the home turn READILY (C.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                          READILY laid in under pressure in the home straight.

O'Shea, for the late declaration of J. Taylor as the rider of ZENACITY.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                          PICCOLO LATTE (K. Pope) was slow to begin.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                          BOSSIE BOY (N. Thomas) began awkwardly and shifted out making contact with MONTALBERT (J. Wood).

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                          Shortly after the start ZENACITY (J. Taylor) was eased when tightened for room between TWO AND A KICK (C. Priest) and TRISTABRAVE (S. Galloway), which shifted out and away from PATAPINDA (D. Browne), which shifted out.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                          TWO AND A KICK and TRISTABRAVE raced wide throughout.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                          Apprentice D. McWhinney, the rider of REBELLIOUS SPIRIT, was severely reprimanded under AR. 137(a) for permitting his mount to shift in near the 800m, causing ZENACITY to race in restricted room for some distance.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                          ZENACITY commenced to overrace during the middle stages and was continually steadied off the heels of BARMAZAL (M. Radecker).

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                          On entering the straight ZENACITY improved up on to the heels of REBELLIOUS SPIRIT and was steadied. A short distance later BOSSIE BOY, ZENACITY and REBELLIOUS SPIRIT were all momentarily held up for clear running.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                          A post-race veterinary examination of TULLY ENDEAVOUR (G. Colless), which weakened noticeably in the home straight, revealed the gelding to be lame in the off foreleg. Trainer L. Richardson was advised that he must produce a veterinary clearance for TULLY ENDEAVOUR prior to its next start.

D'Avila was dually engaged for SHORT TRIP and MR VALENTINO. J. Holder was subsequently substituted as the rider of MR VALENTINO.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                          On return to scale trainer R. Hurley, in the presence of apprentice M. Wood, the rider of SHADY OUTFIT, lodged an objection against CURRENT AFFAIR (D. Browne) being declared the winner, alleging interference over the final 100m. After taking evidence from all parties and viewing the patrol film, stewards found that although CURRENT AFFAIR did shift out and make contact with SHADY OUTFIT, they could not be satisfied that any interference suffered by SHADY OUTFIT exceeded the neck margin between the two runners at the finish and therefore dismissed the objection and declared correct weight on the Judge's placings of 7, 8, 16 and 20.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                          HIGHER ORDER (M. Cahill), GOLD BUDDA (M. Radecker), JOY'S SPIRIT (S. Arnold) and MR VALENTINO (J. Holder) were slow to begin.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                          BUSTOPHER JONES (S. Galloway), KINTYRELYUPTOYOU (J. Wood), SHORT TRIP (W. D'Avila) and JOY'S SPIRIT raced wide throughout.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                          Near the 500m BUSTOPHER JONES raced in restricted room between FINAGLE (E. Wilkinson) and KINTYRELYUPTOYOU, which commenced to lay in despite the efforts of its rider.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                          SHADY OUTFIT (M. Wood) shifted in abruptly despite the efforts of its rider, placing it at a disadvantage between the 400m and the 200m.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                          W. D'Avila, the rider of SHORT TRIP, was found guilty of a charge of careless riding under AR. 137(a) in that leaving the 100m he permitted his mount to shift in whilst riding it along with the whip when insufficiently clear of HIGHER ORDER, causing that runner to be tightened for room between SHORT TRIP and MR TWENTY PER CENT (D. Missen), resulting in HIGHER ORDER having to be checked and losing its rightful running. W. D'Avila's licence to ride in races was suspended for a period of 7 meetings, to commence at midnight on Sunday, 6 February, and expire at midnight on Thursday, 17 February 2011. In this incident RAPID FLOW (A. Taylor), which was following, was inconvenienced as a consequence.
