After being placed in the barriers, Sieben reared and became temporarily cast. Acting on veterinary advice, the Stewards ordered the withdrawal of Sieben at 1.07 pm. The Stewards ordered all monies bet for a win and/or place and concession betting on Sieben to be refunded. All successful bets on horses prior to time of withdrawal of Sieben are subject to the following deductions in the dollar from the face value of the ticket: Win Bets: 3; Place Bets: 4; Winning Concession Bets: 3; Doubles Bets: 3. All monies bet after the Stewards' declaration of withdrawal to be paid at face value of ticket.
Acting on a report from the Starter regarding the unruly behaviour of Sieben at the barrier, the Stewards notified Ms W Mueller, trainer of the gelding, that an official warning would be placed on the gelding, and that she must produce a barrier test certificate in respect of Sieben prior to it racing again.
Due to this, the start of the race was delayed.
