1st – Darkside Lass 2nd – Santi 3rd – Cockaigne 4th – Outside The Flags

HOPESON (C. Spry), which was a little slow to begin, had to be checked on jumping away when tightened for room between KING LATARMISS (S. Seamer) and GROSVENOR GATE (J. Holder), which jumped inwards.

STARS IN FLIGHT (J. Taylor) and OUTSIDE THE FLAGS (M. Cahill) both jumped away awkwardly.

EMGEE REX (M. Carson) was forced to raced wide early.

KING LATARMISS was forced to race wide early in the middle stages.

SANTI (J. Bowditch) was inclined to overrace in the middle stages.

STARS IN FLIGHT (J. Taylor) raced ungenerously in the middle stags and passing the 1000m was inclined to hang out.

Near the 300m, CHICKCHAT (M. Morris) was disappointed for a narrow run between DANELAND (A. Pattillo) and KING LATARMISS, both of which shifted ground slightly. In this incident, CHICKCHAT had to be steadied. OUTSIDE THE FLAGS (M. Cahill), which was following, was held up for clear running.

Passing the 200m, CHICKCHAT had to be momentarily steadied to avoid the heels of DANELAND, which shifted in.

Rounding the home turn, COCKAIGNE (T. Pannell) had to be momentarily steadied when tightened for room between DARKSIDE LASS (B. Pengelly), which shifted in slightly, and EMGEE REX (M. Carson), which was taken out by DANELAND when that horse shifted out away from KING LATARMISS, which was inclined to lay out.

A post race veterinary examination of STARS IN FLIGHT revealed the horse to be suffering from heat stress. Trainer A. Bailey was advised that he must obtain a veterinary clearance prior to the mare’s next race start.


Race 2: National Breast Cancer Foudation QTIS Class 6 3yo H’cap – 1000m
1st – Winaura 2nd – Monashee Knight 3rd – Elanet 4th - Siodee

Near the 700m, IT’S IN HER EYES (J. Taylor), which was racing ungenerously, shifted out and bumped MONASHEE KNIGHT (B. Stewart). IT’S IN HER EYES then raced ungenerously for some distance, and approaching the 500m shifted out and again bumped MONASHEE KNIGHT, which was forced to race 3 wide throughout.

Approaching the 200m, ELANET (R. Plumb) had to be momentarily eased off the heels of ASCENDANT. ELANET then shifted out, inconveniencing IT’S IN HER EYES.

When questioned regarding the performance of THE CHANSTER, M. Cahill stated that his instructions were to lead, however after blundering on jumping away, he took a position just behind the leader. He further added that the gelding was a little disappointing over the concluding stages.. A post race veterinary examination of THE CHANSTER failed to reveal any abnormalities and a swab sample was taken.

When questioned regarding the seemingly disappointing performance of DONALD VICTOR, J. Byrne stated that the gelding only began fairly however when endeavouring to place the horse in a position early, DONALD VICTOR never felt comfortable. He further added that the gelding did not stretch out as anticipated for the remainder of the event. Trainer B. McLachlan stated that after being a little slow to begin, the horse may not have been entirely comfortable by the tempo of the race. He further added that, in his opinion, the gelding may be suited by races over longer distances. DONALD VICTOR was examined by the club’s veterinary surgeon with no abnormalities reported.

Apprentice R. Plumb was reprimanded for returning to scale in excess of half a kilogram overweight. In issuing a reprimand only, stewards took into account this was R. Plumb’s first contravention of this rule.
