FROZE (M Cornell) raced ungenerously in the early stages of the race. Jockey G LEFOE, rider of COPPER'S EDGE reported to Stewards that the gelding was under pressure from the 800 metre mark and did not respond to his riding from that point. Trainer of COPPER'S EDGE, Mr K ROGERSON stated to Stewards that he would now be sending COPPER'S EDGE for a spell. Subsequent to the event Stewards informed trainer of QUEEN'S IMAGE (NZ), N MOODY that they would expect QUEEN'S IMAGE (NZ) to be ridden in a similar manner to today's race in future.
