Mr Renault showed a video replay of the final 300 metres of the Race. He pointed out Mr Rich, wide out, attempt to activate the removeable earplugs shortly after entering the home straight. Mr Rich reported after the Race that they had malfunctioned. He informed the Committee that he was not aware of the malfunction until after the Race. He was not able to explain the malfunction other than that he had made a change to his method of fitting the earplugs to prevent the mare getting her head down and pulling the earplugs out.

--Mr Rich was fined the sum of $100.
