The Stewards informed D. K. Weld, trainer that Tasalka, would have to be recertified before being declared to run from stalls again.

The Stewards interviewed L. Wyer, IHRB Starter, in relation to the communication of a withdrawn horse in this race. Evidence was heard from the Starter, who stated that he wished to withdraw the 17 horse after she became unruly but when he communicated with officials behind the stalls to confirm the number of the horse, the wrong number was communicated to him, which he further relayed to the Public Address. The error was subsequently corrected. Having considered the evidence, the Stewards accepted that a communication error had occurred but advised the Starter to ensure the correct horse number is communicated to the P.A. in future.
