Race 1: DRIVER RECRUITMENT QTIS 2YO FILLIES H’CAP - 1050m

LOFN refused to proceed to the barriers and was withdrawn at 12.43 pm. Trainer K. Schweida was advised that LOFN must perform satisfactorily in an official barrier trial prior to its next start.

LIMERICK STAR was withdrawn at 12.43 pm by stewards acting on veterinary advice that it was bleeding from the offside nostril when it arrived at the barriers. When questioned, trainer R. Cameron stated that the filly became fractious in the float prior to being offloaded at the course and he was of the opinion there was nothing amiss with LIMERICK STAR. The veterinary surgeon agreed that the presence of blood in the nostril was as a result of external trauma. Mr Cameron was advised that in similar circumstances he must always report to the stewards any occurrence that may affect a horse’s performance.

Stewards ordered that all monies invested on LOFN and LIMERICK STAR be refunded, with the following deductions to apply to successful wagers:

4 cents in the dollar for the Win #1
3 cents in the dollar for place of winner #1
24 cents in the dollar for 2nd place #3
