Race 1
Lotza Jockey N. Tomizawa reported that the gelding raced one paced today, and was under pressure from the 800m and proved disappointing. He added that, in his opinion, the gelding races best when able to lead in its races, however when MARLAHN set a strong tempo in the early stages, his mount was unable to obtain this position.

Race 3
The Great Boombino Stewards questioned trainer Mr C. Cousins regarding the seemingly improved performance. He stated that after the horse’s most recent start in which he felt it raced flat, he had sent the horse for a spell. He indicated THE GREAT BOOMBINO has previously raced well fresh and this, also coupled with today’s softer racing surface and claim from apprentice S. Thornton, he had expected a forward showing. He also added that in hindsight he was of the view the horse races best when its runs are spaced out and that he would endeavour to space the horse’s runs more so in future. Sunshine Coast 25/01/2020

A post-race veterinary examination of the mare revealed no significant findings. Toowoomba 09/11/2019

Phony Pony Laid in over the concluding stages. When questioned by Stewards in relation to the gelding’s seemingly improved performance, the trainer’s representative advised that, in his opinion, the horse’s form had been good prior to its last start at the Sunshine Cost on 28 July 2019 and, following its disappointing performance on that occasion, the stable had elected to send the horse for a spell. He went on to say that the gelding had been working well and jumped out well in the lead up to today’s race and, in his opinion, had benefitted from the inside barrier today. Warwick 26/12/2019
American Crown Raced 3 wide with cover throughout. Questioned performance. Jockey J Oliver explained that at its 2 most recent starts when he was the rider, mare raced in blinkers and settled further back than they would have liked. Trainer M. Nolan removed blinkers for todays event hoping that would allow the mare to race in a more forward position. Despite urgings the mare failed to muster early speed and settled towards rear of field. Finished the race off well today similar to that of its most recent start. In his opinion may be looking for distances further than todays event. Aquis Beaudesert 26/01/2020
