LUCKY BLESSING (K073) over the concluding stages was bumped - Race 170.

REWARDING TWINKLE (J368) shortly after the start was bumped. Near the 1100M shifted out towards a runner when racing keenly and as a result was steadied. Between the 350M and the 250M had difficulty obtaining clear running when attempting to shift out.

STERLING WONGCHOY (H273) bumped on jumping. Near the 1500M the horse was steadied whilst racing keenly.

Rider was questioned in relation to his right arm extending out and away from his body over the concluding stages which resulted in it being placed near the head of the 3rd placegetter. Rider explained that he was riding his mount out in his usual manner during that stage of the race and was gathering his reins at that point which resulted in his right arm extending out and away from his body. He added towards the finish of the event his actions did not change although he did concede his right arm was positioned close to the head of the 3rd placegetter. Rider of the 3rd placegetter stated that he was not aware that incident occurred during the running of the race. After considering his evidence the Stewards accepted the explanation of rider that he did not intentionally place his right arm in the vicinity of the 3rd placegetter, however, he was advised to ensure that, wherever possible, his arm does not make contact with another horse during the running of the race - Race 190.
