Steward Comment

When questioned by Stewards regarding the mare’s seemingly improved performance, Trainer B. Currie advised that the mare was not suited to the firm racing surfaces at its most recent starts at Dalby and Gatton. He went on to say that two starts ago at Toowoomba he was unable to offer an explanation for the mare’s seemingly disappointing performance. He also advised that, in his opinion, today’s racing surface, combined with racing at a track where the mare has an exceptional record, were the major contributing factors to the horse’s improved performance. Stewards noted the explanation.

Steward Comment

Apprentice J. Murphy reported that his mount did not travel strongly at any point in the race, and that it felt awkward in its action. A post-race veterinary examination revealed a speedy cut to the horse’s off hind leg.

Jumped with its head in the air at the start and was then tightened for room and, as a result, lost ground and settled further back in the field than anticipated. Apprentice C. Bayliss reported that his mount hung out throughout.

Forced to alter course to the inside to secure clear running passing the 200m, and was then held up on the heels of tiring runners over the final 100m.
