Passing the 300m DIAMONDS AM I shifted in, inconveniencing REBOUNDED.

S. Seamer reported that the saddle on GEE I JANE shifted forward near the 1000m, placing him in some difficulty for some distance.

Near the 700m GEE I JANE, which was overracing, shifted out, taking LA SIZERANNE (M. Rodd) and STAR SHIRAZ (J. Byrne) wider on the track.

Near the 550m LA SIZERANNE shifted out to improve around the heels of VILLA BLED (J. Taylor) and in doing so made contact with STAR SHIRAZ.

K. Forrester, the rider of 6th placegetter COUNTESS BATHORY, was found guilty of a charge under AR. 137(b) in that he failed to ride his mount out to the end of the race and was fined $1,000.

A post-race veterinary examination revealed MISS POTENTIAL to be sore in the near foreleg. Trainer B. Borrie’s representative Mr E. Chippindale was advised that a veterinary certificate would be required prior to the mare’s next start.

Race 7: CARLTON DRAUGHT TATERSALL’S CUP – 2200M

HISSY FIT (R. McMahon) and MITANNI (K. Forrester) came together on jumping away.

Shortly after the start BENEDETTI (S. Baster) shifted in and made contact with MR HORNBLOWER (S. Seamer).

As S. Baster had left the course without permission, stewards adjourned an inquiry into the reason for MR HORNBLOWER having to be checked near the 1400m between CONSULAR (S. Scriven) and BENEDETTI.

HISSY FIT was obliged to race wide for the majority of the event.

Shortly after straightening SMART AND MIGHTY was obliged to alter course inwards off the heels of TYCOON ROSE (M. Palmer) to obtain clear running.

Near the 250m MR HORNBLOWER was inconvenienced by BENEDETTI which shifted out.

When questioned regarding the tactics adopted on CONSULAR today as opposed to its normal racing pattern, jockey S. Scriven stated that he had no firm instructions, however he rode CONSULAR aggressively in the early stages and after receiving tightening passing the 1500m was left with little alternative but to ride his mount forward in an endeavour to maintain his position. He added that the horse then overraced for some distance and also, in his opinion, it may not have been entirely comfortable in today’s track conditions. Trainer W. Baker comfirmed the instructions. Their explanations were noted.
