SUPPLEMENTARY REPORT

From Eagle Farm Meeting 22.2.14 – Race 5 1800m

Trainer's representative Graham Green reported to stewards in days following the event that DECILLION, which performed poorly, had returned with its tongue over the bit and he would now experiment with the addition of a tongue control bit during track work before its next start.


Race 1: Breakfast Creek Hotel QTIS 2YO H'Cap - 1000m

JEB'S BOY (B. Evans) began awkwardly and lost ground.

LIPSTICK LADY (App T. Harrison) shifted out at the start making contact with SUZY'S BOY (G. Colless).

LIPSTICK LADY raced ungenerously in the early stages of the event.

Leaving the 600m KNIGHTWICK MANOR (B. El-Issa) hung out making contact with I AM BOSS (T. Bell) on a number of occasions, which in turn shifted out bumping CRAIGLEA MISSION (App A. Allen).

Approaching the 500m JEB'S BOY raced greenly and shifted out across the heels of HEART COMMAND (J. Taylor).

Near the 400m CRAIGLEA MISSION hung in having to be steadied from the heels of I AM BOSS.

CRAIGLEA MISSION and HEART COMMAND both raced wide for the majority of the event.

A post race veterinary examination of KNIGHTWICK MANOR, which hung out during the race revealed no significant abnormalities.

Race 2: Tattersall's Club Open H’Cap - 2200m

PLUMAGE (J. Byrne) turned its head as the start was effected and was slow to begin.

CABALLO RAPIDO (App T. Harrison) commenced to overrace on the turn out of the straight on the first occasion and shifted wider on the track leaving the 1800m.

RACING HEART (App A. Butler) overraced in the early and middle stages of the event.

CABALLO RAPIDO hung out under pressure over the final 50m.

Stewards questioned T. Bell regarding his riding tactics on SENTA DESERT particularly from the 400m. Jockey Bell stated he had been following STORM FABULADOR (J. Taylor) throughout the race and felt that the gelding was under pressure leaving the 800m and he elected to come to its outside approaching the home turn however, was then disappointed for a run between STORM FABULADOR, which shifted out away from the heels of RACING HEART and LEGSMAN, which was tiring. Jockey Bell added that in his opinion SENTA DESERT lost all momentum at that stage. When asked to explain as to why he did not attempt a run between LEGSMAN and CABALLO RAPIDO near the 200m he stated that throughout the race CABALLO RAPIDO had been shifting ground and as a result he was reluctant to improve into that run and he then elected to shift to the outside to balance the horse and give it an unimpeded run to the finish. Stewards noted his explanation.

Race 3: Carlton Mid Class 6 Plate - 1600m

ELLAWISDOM (App A. Allen) and THIRSTY FOR BLOOD (App T. Harrison) were both slow to begin.

HEARTFELT QUEST (App G. Goold), which was fractious in the barriers prior to the start, was slow to begin.

HARADA BAY (R. McMahon) had a tendency to overrace in the middle stages of the event.

Following the disappointing performance of BUSH AVIATOR (B. El-Issa) trainer T. Gollan advised stewards that it was now his intention to send the gelding for an immediate spell.

HEARTFELT QUEST lost its near fore plate during running.

RENEWED VITALITY (C. Munce) lost its off hind plate during running.
Race 4: The President's Open H'Cap - 1000m

Leaving the 200m ROCKET TO GLORY (B. El-Issa) commenced to shift out under pressure forcing SEEKING MORE (App A. Allen) wider on the track over the concluding stages.

EASY RUNNING raced wide for the majority of the event.

On return to scale DOUBLE IMPACT was found to have bled from both nostrils during the event. As this was the first occasion DOUBLE IMPACT had suffered a bleeding attack and acting under the provisions of AR53A the gelding would now be banned from racing for a period of 3 months and must gallop over 1000m to the satisfaction of stewards prior to being permitted to race again.

A post race veterinary examination of THE SIXTIES revealed the gelding to have jarred up on today's surface.

Race 5: Tattersall's Arcade NMW H'Cap - 1400m

PEACE TALKS (App A. Allen) and RUN JAKE RUN (App P. Schmidt) were both slow to begin.

Race 6: IPG Print Class 6 H’Cap - 1200m

PRETTY FACE hung out over the final 100m under pressure.

TRAGEDY (G. Cooksley) and CHILIAD (App C. Van Der Werf) both raced wide for the majority of the event.

Race 7: Tattersall's Members' Cup - 1600m

DANESIRI (App T. Harrison) was slow to begin.

Near the 1400m TYPHOON RED (J. Byrne) had to be steadied to avoid the heels of BOREHOLE (B. El-Issa), which improved quickly to the inside of the heels of FLYING HOME (C. Munce). MARGINS (R. McMahon) which was following also had to shift out away from the heels of TYPHOON RED.

C. Munce reported that in his opinion FLYING HOME was not suited to the firm track conditions today. A post race veterinary examination of FLYING HOME (C. Munce) revealed no significant abnormalities. Trainer B. Baldwin will be interviewed regarding the gelding's performance today.

When questioned App A. Allen stated he was instructed to have JOPA in a handy position as the gelding was stepping up in distance to 1600m. App Allen added that after beginning well from a wide barrier he elected to ride forward and this resulted in him racing in a more forward position than he anticipated. A post race veterinary examination of JOPA revealed no significant abnormalities.


Race 8: Hardy Brothers Jewellers QTIS 3YO H’Cap - 1200m

GUNDY SPIRIT (D. Browne) jumped out at the start making heavy contact with the outside barrier gate resulting in its rider becoming unbalanced and almost being dislodged.

Approaching the winning post LONDEHERO (G. Colless) shifted in under pressure taking IN THE SKY ROCKET, which was already hanging in, onto HIT THE ROAD JACK, which then shifted in tightening the running of TOTAL AUTHORITY after the winning post.

HOTEL PARADISO (R. McMahon) raced wide for the majority of the event.

App G. Goold reported at scales IN THE SKY ROCKET was inclined to lay in throughout the event.

App R. Jamieson reported BALLINGALL BOY raced ungenerously throughout and was reluctant to improve into a run between QUEEN OF THE LOCHS (App T. Harrison) and GUNDY SPIRIT (D. Browne) near 250m and as a result she was unable to fully test the gelding over the concluding stages. Trainer J. Wallace will be interviewed at a later date in regards to today's performance.

R. McMahon reported that HOTEL PARADISO did not feel entirely comfortable in its action in the home straight. Stewards will interview trainer K. Schweida regarding this matter.
