Race 1: Beaudesert Sire Council Maiden Plate – 1200m .
1st – Left In The Bush 2nd – Sweet Leah 3rd – My Jack 4th - Jarita

SPACE CAVE, which became fractious in the barriers, reared up, dislodging S. Drake. SPACE CAVE was subsequently withdrawn on veterinary advice at 1.30 p.m.. Subsequent to the event, all monies invested on SPACE CAVE were ordered to be refunded, with deductions of 12 cents in the dollar on the face value of win bets, 14 cents in the dollar on the face value of place bets. Trainer L. Richardson was advised that he would be required to provide a barrier certificate for SPACE CAVE prior to its next race start.

SWEET LEAH (G. Auckram) was slow to begin.

MY JACK (B. Calkin) jumped away awkwardly.

MY JACK hung out rounding the home turn and again in the straight, bumping SWEET LEAH on 2 occasions.

SWEET LEAH laid out rounding the home turn.

Barrier attendant Trevor Clifford suffered an injury to his right arm when SPACE CAVE reared in the barriers.



Race 2: Kez’s Rugs & Saddlery Open H’cap – 1300m
1st – Taabinga Lass 2nd – Unite And Prosper 3rd – Pride Of Paris 4th – Sundae Jester

NEWTOWN LAD (S. Drake) was slow to begin.

UNITE AND PROSPER (B. Calkin) jumped outwards at the start and brushed PRIDE OF PARIS (S. Bayliss).

TAABINGA LASS (M. Sharpe) laid out over the concluding stages.

Stewards questioned G. Auckram over the performance of SUNDAE JESTER. G. Auckram stated that he was obliged to race wide from the 600m, and when placed under pressure from the 550m, the gelding failed to respond to his riding and was very disappointing. He was of the opinion that SUNDAE JESTER had a distinct disliking for wet tracks.

Following this race, the track rating was upgraded to dead.


Race 3: Primelands Real Estate QTIS Maiden Plate – 1400m
1st – Yickadee 2nd – Roman Ace 3rd – Sclavos 4th - Voltaat

STRELITZIA (S. Bayliss) was slow to begin.

Approaching the 900m, STRELITZIA became unbalanced and struck the running rail, and from that point lost ground. A post race veterinary examination of STRELITZIA failed to reveal any abnormalities and trainer B. Maidment was instructed that a warning was being placed on the mare’s racing manners.

Nearing the 750m, YICKADEE (B. Calkin) laid in and momentarily crowded GRAND TRICK (S. Drake), which had to be steadied. B. Calkin was instructed to exercise more care in future when his mounts shift ground.

SCLAVOS (G. Auckram) hung out rounding the home turn and proved difficult to ride out. Trainer R. Ludwig could offer little excuse for the racing manners of SCLAVOS and was instructed that a warning was being placed on the gelding. Mr Ludwig also advised that SCLAVOS would now be sent for a spell.


Race 4: Beaudesert Bookies Class B H’cap – 1400m
1st – Keltic Mark 2nd – Squeeze Me In 3rd – Explosive Forme 4th – Macquarie Lad

ANLIN DIOR was withdrawn at 2.41 p.m. on veterinary advice after the mare suffered an injury en route to the course. Trainer Q. Kearney was instructed to produce a veterinary certificate of soundness prior to the mare’s next race start.

PIPE DREAM (M. Sharpe) was slow to begin.

SQUEEZE ME IN (P. Brown) hung out rounding the home turn and again hung out over the concluding stages, obliging P. Brown to stop riding and straighten his mount.

Approaching the 400m, MACQUARIE LAD (B. Calkin) was checked when disappointed for a run between EXPLOSIVE FORME and PIPE DREAM and lost ground.

A post race veterinary examination of SARGE MCGRATH revealed the gelding to be lame in the off hind leg. Trainer A. Smith was instructed to produce a veterinary clearance for the gelding prior to its next race start.

Stewards questioned trainer Ms F. Braybrook over the improved performance of KELTIC MARK. Ms Braybrook stated that the gelding’s previous start at Toowoomba on 21 October, KELTIC MARK was not at any stage comfortable in the going and was disappointing on the night. She had however expected a more forward showing on its home track.
