LION PARK was slow to begin.

Connections of RECALIBRATE, which was considerably slow to begin, were advised that a warning would be placed on that gelding.

Connections of SUNDAE SENOR, which hung out rounding the home turn, were advised that a warning would be placed on that gelding.

G Auckram, the rider of GONDWANA GIRL, was found guilty of a charge of careless riding under AR 137(a) in that he failed to make sufficient effort to straighten him mount, which commenced to shift out near the 150m resulting in SEEK A WARNING being checked near the 100m. G Auckrams license to ride in races was suspended from midnight 27/11/06 up to and including 7/12/06 a period of 6 meetings.

RACE 3: MCCRAKEN’S WATER SERVICES/DALBY CLEANING & CATERING CLASS 1 H’CAP 1200M
1st – Just A Freak 2nd – Prince Antibes 3rd – San Phillipe 4th – Dane Display

MAUDIE KATE was tightened for room at the start between JUST A FREAK and DANE DISPLAY, which shifted out.

MISTER BOOLA hung out rounding the home turn.

CHIEF INSPECTOR raced wide throughout and made the home turn extremely wide.

Stewards opened an inquiry into the running and handling of MILADY RAINE. Stewards were concerned with Jockey S Galvins’ apparent lack of vigour after the horse commenced to lose ground from the 1000m. Jockey Galvin stated that his horse had commenced to hang from that point, which had placed him at a disadvantage for the remainder of the event. After taking further evidence from stable representative J Dougall, stewards afforded Jockey Galvin the benefit of a grave doubt in that the mare was showing signs of hanging, rounding the home turn. Post race veterinary examination of MILADY RAINE failed to reveal any abnormalities and a swab sample was taken.

RACE 4: DAVID & FLORENCE KANE MEMORIAL/EDGAR & WOOD CLASS 3 PLATE 1300M
1st – Captain Mat 2nd – Pitch White 3rd – Trimlaw 4th – Bridge To Victory

1st – Schahriar 2nd – Sundae Jester 3rd – Astroflash 4th – Ram Jam Inn

Apprentice N Summer, the rider of ASTROFLASH, was reprimanded for failing to claim her full allowance.

PARADISE DANCER, which dislodged its rider and galloped around the course on a number of occasions, was declared a late scratching by stewards at 4:40pm. Stewards ordered that all monies invested on PARADISE DANCER be refunded and deductions of 28c for the win and 26c for the place were ordered on all winning tickets. Rider K Treble sustained bruising to her left foot and ankle and will require a medical clearance prior to riding again.

Stewards opened an inquiry into the running and handling of RAM JAM INN. After hearing evidence from trainer B Azel, Apprentice Z Landry, veterinary surgeon Dr J Schooth and stewards, the inquiry was adjourned to a date and time to be fixed to enable stewards to go through the betting sheets and to check how RAM JAM INN has been ridden on previous occasions.
