There was a slight delay to the start after MUM BEAT LYALL had thrown itself on the track. Horses to break over the early stages were KELLY EVANDER, FAIRY GODMOTHER and BRITE BELLE with BRITE BELLE breaking again during the running losing all chance. The favourite SKYS THE LIMIT broke on the first bend before settling. EURO broke several times during the running. HEZA BRITESPARK broke with 450m to run briefly checking MUM BEAT LYALL. FAIRY GODMOTHER broke with 350m to run. A veterinary examination was conducted on FAIRY GODMOTHER which revealed a serious tendon injury. This mare will require a veterinary clearance before resuming racing. Authorisation of second placing being awarded to SKYS THE LIMIT was withheld until it was confirmed SKYS THE LIMIT did not breach the Breaking Horse Regulations over the early stages. A Protest was lodged into the fourth placing of HEZA BRITESPARK under Rule 870(3) & (4)(a) in that with approx. 450m to run HEZA BRITESPARK broke and failed to promptly regain its correct gait. The JCA upheld the Protest and HEZA BRITESPARK was disqualified. Official placings are now 1st TORASION, 2nd SKYS THE LIMIT, 3rd HONEY PIE, 4th MUM BEAT LYALL, and 5th FAIRY GODMOTHER. AG Russell (HEZA BRITESPARK) was reminded of his obligations to take a breaking runner clear of other runners as soon as practical. AL Stratford (SKYS THE LIMIT) was questioned by the Stewards regarding the manner he drove over the final stages. AL Stratford advised the Stewards the mare had broken in its previous start and earlier during the race, was trotting roughly and he believed she was trying her best in the home straight after being parked from the 1200m mark. AL Stratford's explanation was accepted however he was advised to leave no doubt in the future regarding the manner he drives the mare.
