Apprentice A. Merritt was fined $100 for negligence in that he weighed out for his mount on HURRY HURRY without stirrup irons. This necessitated the aforementioned gear having to be fitted in the enclosure.
On the home turn, HURRY HURRY shifted in and bumped SEA SERENADE, which commenced to lose ground. A veterinary examination of SEA SERENADE, which compounded badly over the concluding stages, revealed that gelding to be sore in the near hind leg.
When questioned, A. Merritt stated that despite being slapped up in the initial stages of the event, HURRY HURRY did not show its anticipated early speed and settled further back in the field than was anticipated.
RACE 4: RAJ LAWYERS H'CAP - 1200M.
SILVER CANON knuckled over the start and lost ground, and soon afterwards had to be steadied off the heels of ALFRED THE GREAT, which shifted in. A veterinary examination of SILVER CANON subsequent to the event revealed the gelding to be short in its action.
CRYPTIC RED jumped away awkwardly with its head in the air.
At the 150m., D. Griffin, rider of CHEMICAL BROTHER, had his whip knocked from his grasp by the whip of N. Evans, rider of RAPPAREE.
SPORTS FREAK suffered a bleeding attack during the event. As this was the first occasion on which the gelding had bled, a mandatory 3 month ban from racing will be applied.
When questioned, S. Galloway stated that POWER AND EGO, which tailed off throughout the event, failed to handle the soft track.
