RACE 1: QUEENSLAND ELECTRICAL BM85 H’CAP – 2220M

RANKED – Held up rounding the home turn.

WALHAAN – G. Colless was questioned regarding his tactics and the performance of the horse. He stated that he had concerns with the way in which the gelding was travelling near the 1300m and from the 600m he elected to follow TORBAY through rather than shift around LEGSMAN and race wide. He added that WALHAAN did not stretch out in the straight and on pulling up he felt there was something amiss with the gelding. A post-race veterinary examination revealed the gelding to be short-striding in both forelegs. A swab sample was taken.

CAILLEBOTTE – Had to be checked away from the heels of a tiring runner near the 400m.

LEGSMAN – Raced wide throughout.

RACE 2: SQS HAULAGE QTIS 2YO H’CAP – 1050M

After viewing the stewards patrol footage, the connections of NICCONI LEGGERA, placed 2nd by the Judge, lodged an objection against OINK being declared the winner, alleging interference near the finishing line. After taking evidence from all parties and viewing the official videos, stewards established that although OINK did shift ground inwards over the concluding stages and made contact with NICCONI LEGGERA, the point of contact was after the finishing line and therefore the protest was dismissed and correct weight was declared on the Judge’s placings.

OINK – Bumped shortly after entering the straight.

TWO SHOES – Forced wider on the track passing the 600m.

HE’S FOR REAL – Bumped near the 600m.

RACE 4: 125KG GRASS FED DAVE MARRIOTT STEAKS CLASS 6 PLATE – 1640M

The start of this race was delayed when FLEUR D’ORAGE required farrier attention.

LADY NO MORE – Slow to begin.

RAINBOW LACE – Commenced to hang out after leaving the 600m. A post-race veterinary examination revealed the filly to have jarred up in both forelegs. Trainer H. Norman indicated that the filly will now be sent for an immediate spell.

THE WANTED CLUB – Jumped awkwardly. Clipped heels and blundered near the 1000m. Raced wide without cover.

ZERO TOLERANCE – Connections advised that from the wide barrier it would be the intention to have the horse ridden back in the field. The horse was ridden accordingly.

MYSTIC OPAL – Commenced to overrace after leaving the 900m and had to be steadied away from heels.

KEMPELLY – N. Tomizawa was reprimanded for using the whip on 6 occasions, one of which was in consecutive strides, prior to the 100m.

JUST A PERLA – When questioned regarding his reason for not obtaining the leading position passing the 800m, A. Allen advised that he was instructed to lead as per the horse’s customary racing pattern, however as a result of his mount laying in, along with the appearance of CHARIOT OF GOLD wishing to maintain the position to his inside, he was unable to cross and lead. The explanation was noted.
