The Stewards enquired into the start of this race where it appeared that stall No 2 may have opened momentarily early. Evidence was heard from the IHRB Starter, Mr. D. Cullen and G.P. Brouder, rider of Forever My Girl. Mr. Cullen stated that this filly was fractious at the start and entered the stalls last. She immediately got upset and she charged the gate when he released the starting mechanism resulting in her forcing the gate to open. In his opinion a fair start had been effected. G.P. Brouder stated that his mount was very difficult which had to be led to the start. As soon as he mounted her in the starting stalls, she lunged at the gate and hit it with her head which forced them to open slightly early. Having viewed the recording of the start and considered the evidence, the Stewards were satisfied that a fair start had been effected and took no further action.
