Pocillo  Raced wide throughout. Jockey reported upon return to scale that the mare put in an awkward stride leaving the 100m, at which point he became concerned with its action and as such did not ride it out with his usual vigour. Vetted - no abnormalities.  Gold Coast  25/07/2015 
Pookies Grin  When questioned as to whether there was an opportunity to maintain a trailing position behind the leader during the middle stages of the event rather than surrendering this position to another runner, jockey advised that due to the strong early tempo set, he was of the view to restrain his mount during the middle stages to allow the horse to travel more comfortably which in his opinion would have enabled the mare to finish the race off to its full potential, bearing in mind the steep weight rise tonight from its most recent win.  Toowoomba  25/07/2015 
Speedy Sam (NZ)  Shifted out and made heavy contact with another runner shortly after the start. Jockey R. Wiggins became unbalanced in this incident.

Chilwero  When questioned, J. Byrne stated that after obtaining cover from the 800m, the horse travelled well to the home turn, but when placed under pressure failed to run on and in his opinion was disappointing. A post-race veterinary examination revealed no significant findings and a swab sample was taken.  Sunshine Coast  19/07/2015 
Foretoken  Began awkwardly.  Toowoomba  11/07/2015 
James is Blonde  Tightened for room at the start. Stewards afforded jockey G. Geran the opportunity to comment on the performance. He stated that after beginning awkwardly he settled further back than he had anticipated. He added that he was mindful of the gelding's racing pattern, which is to race up on the speed, and at a point near the 900m he elected to shift wider on the track and stride forward to take up a position outside the leader. Jockey Geran further stated that he was disappointed with the gelding's finishing effort.   Kilcoy  25/06/2015

Regular  Raced wide from leaving the 800m. Stewards questioned apprentice J. Johnson regarding her riding of REGULAR from the 900m to a point leaving the 600m. Apprentice Johnson stated that REGULAR had shown a tendency to overrace when ridden with cover. As a result, when the tempo of the race slowed she elected to allow her mount to come out and travel three wide from that point onwards. Trainer B. Guy confirmed the comments of apprentice Johnson regarding the horse's previous racing manners. Stewards noted the explanation. Vetted and found to have a slow post-race recovery.   Ipswich  17/12/2014
