LADY ATHENA – Bumped by another runner rounding the home turn.

CHRISTMAS PHANTOM – Bumped by another runner rounding the home turn. On return to scale, jockey S. Bogenhuber reported to stewards that her mount, which was having its first start tonight, travelled well throughout the event, however when placed under pressure commenced to race greenly and failed to run on as she had expected in the home straight. S. Bogenhuber further added that given the horse was having its first race start tonight it would derive benefit from the race experience on this occasion.

STORM MAGIC – Raced ungenerously whilst being restrained in the early stages and made the crossing awkwardly near the 1500m.

LEGSMAN – Raced with its head in the air near the 900m whilst being restrained. Following a complaint from trainer L. Paton, stewards opened an inquiry into jockey Geran’s riding of the horse. Of particular concern to Ms Paton was jockey Geran’s apparent failure to follow her instructions, which were to lead if possible or at the very least race in a forward position. After taking evidence from jockey Geran in relation to his riding, stewards adjourned the matter to a time and date to be fixed to enable stewards to obtain betting information on the event.



GETTING’JIGGYWITHIT – Raced in restricted room near the 800m to the inside of LEGSMAN, which shifted in when not completely clear.
