Yesido Stewards questioned jockey S. Bogenhuber regarding her decision passing the 600m to shift to the outside of LETTER OF CHARM when that runner weakened rather than improve between LETTER OF CHARM and DUMFRIES when that opportunity existed. Jockey Bogenhuber explained that she was of the opinion that LETTER OF CHARM was shifting in slightly and rather than be tightened for room she elected to shift around that runner in order to improve. Stewards advised jockey Bogenhuber that she had erred in not improving between LETTER OF CHARM and DUMFRIES and following LKUJAC into the race, however did not Doomben 13/01/2017

Our Racketeer When asked to comment on the performance of the horse, jockey D. Browne indicated his mount did not begin with its customary speed and did not travel at any stage of the event.

All Over Bosanova Began awkwardly, shifted out and bumped WINE BARREL. Ipswich 06/01/2017
Guilty Verdict Connections advised that it would be the intention to have the horse ridden more forward than it has at previous starts. After beginning awkwardly the horse settled in a midfield position. Held up from approaching the 400m until passing the 300m and then shifted out abruptly, forcing a run between STUNNING SHOW and POWER BIRD, which was forced wider on the track. Ipswich 06/01/2017
 
Race 7
Halls Creek Began awkwardly and lost ground. Raced wide early and middle stages before obtaining cover near 1100m. Rider questioned re disappointing performance - stated gelding reluctant to jump away and as a result lost ground at start. Added after racing wide early and middle stages was unable to obtain cover in a trailing position near 1100m. Further added gelding travelled fairly approaching home turn however, when asked for effort failed to respond to his riding and proved disappointing. Vetted - slower than normal recovery rate.

Barraaj Commenced to overrace for a short distance approaching 1500m and shifted out forcing EMPEROR’S BEACH wider. Trainer questioned re improved performance - stated that as a result of track downgrade today to Soft 7 was not overly comfortable of a forward showing as it had previously failed on a similar track last start however, attributed improved performance to step up to 1800m. Explanation noted. Gold Coast 21/01/2017
