E C W Wong was found guilty of a careless riding charge for causing interference approaching the 400 Metres (see COLOURFUL GAN). When questioned E C W Wong stated that the instructions were to go forward and lead if possible, however, he was also given the option to take up a position with cover if his mount did not show sufficient pace to lead. He said SKY DEEP jumped only fairly and he rode the horse along in the early stages in an endeavour to hold the lead. He said when a number of runners to his outside were showing superior pace he was obliged to obtain a trailing position behind MISSION GIANT. He said making the Home Turn when THE LION KING commenced to give ground he was obliged to shift to that runner’s outside to improve and as a result made contact with THE LION KING near the 400 Metres when improving between THE LION KING and AMAZING GAZE. He added that entering the Home Straight he observed MISSION GIANT shift out slightly and as a result he endeavoured to improve to that runner’s inside, however, when MISSION GIANT maintained its position close to the rail he was obliged to check his mount when disappointed for clear running near the 300 Metres. He said as a result he was obliged to shift to the outside of MISSION GIANT where his mount secured clear running near the 250 Metres. After considering his explanation the Stewards found that Jockey Wong had endeavoured to comply with his instructions in the early stages, however, he was advised that on entering the Home Straight he had made an error of judgement in endeavouring to improve to the inside of MISSION GIANT where there was not sufficient room to do so. Jockey Wong was further advised that he would be expected in future to show better judgement than what he did on this occasion.

Near the 400 Metres, when under pressure, was checked to avoid MISSION GIANT (M Chadwick) which shifted in. Whilst the Stewards accepted that Jockey Chadwick had made some effort to correct his mount he was severely reprimanded and advised in similar circumstances he would be expected to make a greater effort than what he did on this occasion to straighten his mounts. A Atzeni stated that his mount was able to obtain the lead in the early stages where it travelled satisfactorily. He said on the Home Turn when pressured by MISSION GIANT his mount came under pressure and gave ground noticeably thereafter.
