Race 3: BEAUDESERT RURAL SUPPLIES/PRYDES CLASS 3 PLATE - 1400M

After viewing the stewards’ patrol film, apprentice L. Dittman, the rider of SHOW HARMONY, placed 2nd by the Judge, lodged an objection against FORELOCK being declared the winner, alleging interference over the concluding stages. After taking evidence from all parties and viewing the videos, stewards found that although FORELOCK did shift ground inwards over the concluding stages and that SHOW HARMONY also shifted in, no contact was made between the runners and therefore dismissed the objection and declared correct weight on the Judge’s placings.

EXPLODED – Tightened for room near the 900m.

SHOW HARMONY – Had to be steadied when overracing near the 1100m when crowded for room by ONLINES, which shifted in, and near the 900m was again placed in restricted room and shifted in, tightening the running of EXPLODED.

LOOK AT ANYTHING – Bumped heavily near the 400m and became unbalanced.

FORELOCK – Rider M. Hellyer reported to stewards that it was not is intention to settle as far back in the field as he did, however the mare failed to muster any early speed and as a result he settled further back than he anticipated.
