Incident Report
Jumped only fairly. Shortly after the start was steadied when crowded by MONEY CATCHER which shifted in and away from SKY HEART after being bumped by that runner. Throughout the early and middle stages raced keenly. Prior to declaring weighed-in the Stewards gave consideration if there were sufficient grounds for a protest/objection against HELENE FEELING due to both runners brushing near the 50 Metres. When the Stewards were satisfied that the minor contact was due to both runners shifting ground weighed-in was declared on the numbers semaphored by the Judge.
