In the concluding stages, EL SERENO had to ease when awkwardly placed on the outside of DIVINE HUGH, which was carried out on two separate occasions by TWICE THE FLIGHT, which was hanging out in the straight, proving difficult to assist. A member of the Stipendiary Board called a race review into the above incident. However, after reviewing the patrol films of the race, and taking into consideration that in particular from the footage it appeared that, TWICE THE FLIGHT hanging out had affected its own momentum more than the carries of DIVINE HUGH, consequently he could not be satisfied that, but for the above incident, DIVINE HUGH would have finished in front of TWICE THE FLIGHT. Accordingly, no further action was taken from an objection perspective. From a sanction perspective, the Board was satisfied that Jockey Samuel had taken all the reasonable measures to ensure that he did not cause interference. Accordingly, the Board deemed this to be a racing incident. BABY SHOOZ was selected for the taking of specimens for analysis. Scratched: SMART SOX - injured in transit.
