MACH THE KNIFE – Stewards questioned driver J Callaghan in relation to his actions approaching the 200 metres when steering MACH THE KNIFE down to the inside of the marker pegs at this point when weakening. Mr Callaghan explained that he had believed his runner had choked down in the event and was stopping abruptly, and when alert to runners improving quickly behind, he elected to move his runner down the track to avoid any contact and for safety reasons. Given the circumstances Stewards found the actions of Mr Callaghan to be reasonable and no further action was taken.
