Near the 700 metres ARDOSH had to be steadied off the heels of ALFRISTON. A short distance later ALFRISTON shifted out making contact with ALFRED.

TARA'S SONG and THAT'S CANNY were held up rounding the home turn behind the tiring COSTELLO.

Soon after straightening KEILOR shifted out hampering RUN A MUK.

Near the 200 metres THAT'S CANNY had to be steadied off the heels of SMALL PROMISE which shifted in.

Stewards questioned Trainer B. Guy's stableforeman Mr A Briffa in relation to the seemingly improved performance of ALFRISTON at today's event. Mr Briffa stated that at its last start at Eagle Farm on 11 September, 2002 that the entire had to work hard from the outside barrier and its rider M. RODD felt that something may have been amiss with the horse on that occasion. He further added that the horse had worked moderately leading in to today's event. His explanation was noted.

A postrace Veterinary examination of COSTELLO revealed that the horse was suffering from respiratory distress. Trainer G. Newham was advised that the results of a full Veterinary clearance including an endoscopic examination would be required prior to the gelding's next race start.

ALL WINNERS WERE SENT TO BE SWABBED.

Subsequently stewards charged Jockey Seagren under Australian Racing Rule 120(b) for accepting three rides whereupon it was found she could not fulfil. Jockey Seagren was found guilty of the charge.
