Incident Report
When questioned Apprentice H Y Yuen stated that when placed under pressure in the Home Straight her mount commenced to hang out and as a result near the 200 Metres she was obliged to stop riding and straighten. She said as RAPID PHANTOM cleared COMET RADIANCE near the 100 Metres she was able to ride her mount along which resulted in RAPID PHANTOM shifting out towards the outside running rail. She said near the 20 Metres when RAPID PHANTOM changed stride she was concerned that it was going to make contact with the running rail which required her to stop riding and again straighten her mount and as a consequence she was unable to ride RAPID PHANTOM out to the finish of the event. After considering the evidence the Stewards accepted her explanation for not riding her mount out to the finish.

Sluggish start, showed great speed to lead, headed 400m out, flattened out final 200m.
