Vo Treasure  | Bumped at the start. Stewards questioned Apprentice regarding his riding of the gelding. He said that he had been instructed to ride the gelding midfield with cover. He added that approaching the 600 metres his mount raced keenly and improved onto the heels of the eventual winner and shifted out, resulting in him then having to sustain a 4-wide run without cover from the 600 metres. Apprentice concurred with stewards that he would have been better served by attempting to remain racing on the back of the winner, rather than place too much effort on his mount, and improve from that point.  | Townsville  | 24/03/2016  | |

Jagonal  | When questioned regarding the horse's performance, apprentice stated that the gelding failed to show any early speed and in her opinion raced flat. Trainer stated that he felt the drop back in distance today had an effect on the horse's performance and in view of this it is now the intention to step the horse back up in distance. A post-race veterinary examination revealed no significant findings.  | Gatton  | 12/02/2016  | |
Jaxter's Ballet  | Prior to the declaration of correct weight, Stewards considered objection lodged by the rider of the 3rd placed mare against the second placed mare alleging inference near the 800 metres. With respect of the objection 3rd v 2nd Stewards found that whilst the mare was bumped near the 800m when another runner shifted in, they weren't of the view that any interference suffered to the mare was significant enough to warrant a reversal of the placings and given proximity of this incident to the finish line, and the manner in which the race was run following the bump the objection was dismissed.   | Bowen  | 6/09/2014  | |
