Apprentice J.

McKeon), causing MAIZCAY MISS to lose its position. J. Benbow's riding licence was suspended for a period of 6 meetings, to commence at midnight on Thursday, 2 December, and expire at midnight on Saturday, 11 December. In assessing penalty, stewards took into account J. Benbow's good race riding record.

When questioned as to the performance of TELTREE, S. Seamer stated that the horse was not suited by the pattern of the race, particularly the slow pace in the early stages and then being forced wide when other runners shifted ground on its inside approaching the home turn. A veterinary examination of TELTREE revealed no abnormalities and a swab sample was taken.

MONTESANTOS SPIRIT (M. Pelling) had difficulty obtaining clear running in the straight.

Near the 150m RENOUF (J. Benbow) shifted in slightly and brushed FASHION THUNDER (P. Hammersley).

An inquiry was held into the disappointing performance of LITTLE PUNC. S. Katsidis stated that the horse had travelled well, however when tested in the straight the horse failed to respond. S. Katsidis added that he was of the opinion that the horse may be better suited over a longer distance. Trainer's representative Mr Broderick expressed his disappointment in the performance and stated that the horse had worked well leading in to today's race, however following the disappointing run today he was also of the view that the horse may be looking for further. A veterinary examination of LITTLE PUNC revealed no abnormalities and a swab sample was taken.

ALL WINNERS, TELTREE AND LITTLE PUNC WERE SENT TO BE SWABBED
