Race 3: Arnie & Rene Rideout Memorial Benchmark 50 Handicap – 1000 metres
Prior to the declaration of correct weight, Stewards interviewed the starter and viewed the available patrol footage to ascertain whether any runner had obtained an unfair advantage at the start. After doing so, Stewards ascertained that the starter had effected the start and, that MR NODDY’s gate had opened marginally earlier than the rest of the field. However, Stewards were not satisfied that MR NODDY had obtained an unfair advantage, as the gelding jumped with the rest of the field and accordingly, declared correct weight.
