GENERAL

Swab samples were taken from five jockeys at todays meeting.

RACE 1: RED COUNTRY REAL ESTATE MAIDEN PLATE – 1000M

ARVAKUR – Was slow to begin. Rider questioned in regards to the performance and stated that the instructions were to be up on the pace. Rider further added that after beginning slow, he was forced to settle back further than anticipated and resented the kick back and in his opinion proved disappointing. A post-race veterinary examination of the gelding failed to reveal any abnormalities.

SCHIEHALLION – Was slow to begin.

BRADBURY’S BRANDY – Stood flat footed and failed to take any competitive part in today’s event. Trainer W. Baker was advised that the mare would be required to trial before stewards prior to being permitted to start again.

CLANGFILLY – Rider reported to stewards that the mare hung in over the concluding stages and proved difficult to ride out. Trainer B. Sheppard advised stewards that he would be taking the tongue tie off and adding a ring bit to the mares gear prior to its next start.

RACE 2: PRICE RITE TYREPOWER CLASS B HCP – 1000M

SPINTHESONY – Crowded for room, bumped by another runner and became momentarily unbalanced at the start.

DIAMOND RUSH – Bumped by another runner at the start. Rider reported at scale that she had elected to shift wider on the track near the 700m to avoid the kick back.

JACK ‘N’ TAJ – Jumped in making contact with another runner and became momentarily unbalanced.

JIMMY TWISTS – Checked near the 550m when HILDESHEIM hung in. Rider reported that after the interference suffered near the 550m, the gelding did not travel comfortably for the remainder of the event and subsequently tailed off. A post-race veterinary examination failed to reveal any abnormalities.

HILDESHEIM – Hung in rounding the home turn.

COUNTY GOLD – Hung out badly rounding the home turn resulting in its rider being forced to stop riding and straighten her mount. Trainer R. Connolly was advised that the gelding would be required to trial satisfactorily in the presence of stewards prior to its next start.

RACE 3: SOUTH WEST FORD OPEN HCP – 1000M

ROYAL REWARD – Stood flat footed and lost ground. The connections of Royal Reward were advised that a warning would be placed on the mare.

BRITISH BULLDOG – Crowded for room shortly after the start and had to ease to avoid heels. Laid in over the concluding stages and had to be eased from the heels of another runner near the 100m.

ELLIE LA VIE – Near the 800m was eased from the heels of another runner which shifted out marginally.

RACE 4: CHARLEVILLE TYRE SERVICE CLASS 2 HCP – 1100M

BLINKIN HASTY – Rider reported at scale that after beginning well the mare obtained a forward position and raced comfortably in the early and middle stages of the event. She further added that when pressuring Blinkin Hasty over the concluding stages it failed to respond to her riding and proved disappointing. Apprentice N. Morton added that the mare would be better suited to a track with a firmer surface.

GENERAL NICK – Raced in restricted room near the 800m.

MASTER FARALON – Held up for clear running over the concluding stages. When questioned in regards to the tactics adopted over the concluding stages, apprentice G. Steele stated that when she began to pressure her mount after straightening near the 250m, she elected to improve to the inside of the fading Blinkin Hasty where there was insufficient room and was subsequently disappointed for a run. Apprentice G. Steele agreed with stewards that she had erred in opting to obtain a run to the inside of Blinkin Hasty when there was ample room to the mares outside. Stewards will be referring today’s race footage to her master for further analysis and tutelage.

RACE 5: TOWER HARDWARE BMK 65 HCP – 800M

HIDDEN DUCK – Knuckled at the start and lost ground. Laid out rounding the home turn.

ARCTIC RED – Made contact with the barrier partition on jumping away.

PHANTOMOFTHEOPERA – Eased from the heels of SATAN’S CHARIOT which shifted in rounding the home turn when not fully clear. At a subsequent enquiry apprentice S. Palmer, the rider of Satan’s Chariot, was advised to exercise more care in similar circumstances.

SATAN’S CHARIOT – Laid out under pressure over the concluding stages of the event.

LA CLOISONNE – Laid in under pressure over the concluding stages.
