Incident Report
After the event Apprentice P N Wong stated that the instructions were to hold a forward position. She said NORTHERN BEAST was able to lead the event but gave ground in the Home Straight and, in her opinion, did not appreciate racing on the All Weather surface. A veterinary inspection immediately following the race did not show any significant findings.
