Supplementary Report:
 
Stewards questioned trainer S. Gabriel–Royes into the bonafides of THE GIRLS IN PARIS, which was competing in race 6 on todays program.
 
Ms Garbriel-Royes explained that after acquiring the horse and racing it Richmond 16/06/2018, she had discovered shoeing issues that in her opinion was not beneficial the welfare of the animal and as such had made arrangements for THE GIRLS IN PARIS to be treated by a professional blacksmith in Mount Isa as this service was not available in Richmond. The horse was transported to Mount Isa following its start at Richmond and was to be collected at the McKinlay Race Meeting Saturday 23/06/2018 which was subsequently abandoned. She further added that the horse had been under her instructions whilst stabled with a licensed person in Mount Isa and was returning back to her stables in Richmond following today’s race meeting. Whilst Stewards noted Ms Garbriel-Royes explanation, she was nonetheless advised of her obligations under LR41 and that she must advise Stewards of any changes in relation to this rule immediately in future.

Royes was advised the gelding must complete a series of barrier certificates (4) to the satisfaction of Stewards before being permitted to race again. In considering this matter Stewards took into account its poor record in regards its barrier manners.
 
TIDAL RIP – Was declared a late scratching by order of Stewards acting on veterinary advice after it became very fractious and sustained injuries after being loaded into the barrier certificates. Trainer D. Burgess was advised a veterinary certificate of fitness is required before the gelding completes 2 further barrier certificates before being permitted to race again.
 
BELIEVE IT OR NOT – Was declared a late scratching by order of the Stewards acting on veterinary advice after it broke through the front of the barrier, dislodging its rider and then galloping a considerable distance before being captured.

Prior to the declaration of correct weight, Stewards ordered that all monies invested on CODE ONE, TIDAL RIP and BELIEVE IT  OR NOT, to be refunded and all successful bets for the win and place be paid a total cumulative deduction of Twenty-nine cents in the dollar on the face value of the tickets.
