Steward Comment

Jockey A Spinks reported that it was not his intention to lead the event but when the mare was over-racing in the early stages he allowed it to stride forward to the lead. Jockey A Spinks was reprimanded for failing to ride his mount right out to the end of the race. In determining penalty Stewards were not satisfied that Jockey Spink’s actions had a material effect on the placings.

Steward Comment

Connections advised that it was the intention to have the gelding ridden on the speed today – Was unable to obtain a forward position despite the efforts of Jockey M McGuren in the early stages and settled in a mid-field position with cover. Held up for the majority of the home straight and went to the line without being fully tested.

A post-race veterinary examination revealed the gelding to be making an abnormal respiratory sound. Trainer B Currie was advised that the results of an endoscopic examination together with a veterinary clearance would be required prior to its next race start.
