MARKOUT (S. Apthorpe) had to be restrained from the heels of MAIN STREET (M. Hellyer) when overracing near the 1600m.

When asked to comment on the disappointing performance of MAIN STREET, rider M. Hellyer stated that the gelding never travelled comfortably throughout the event and in his opinion did not appreciate racing on the firm surface of today’s track. A post-race veterinary examination of MAIN STREET revealed no significant findings other than that the horse had a small laceration to the off foreleg consistent with being galloped on.

Race 6: XXXX GOLD CLASS 1 H’CAP - 1400M

Trainer B. Robinson advised that RAZOR CASTLE, which has been getting back at its most recent starts, would be ridden in a more forward position today if circumstances permit. The horse was ridden accordingly.

Near the 200m SHINZIGZAG improved on to heels and had to shift wider on the track to obtain clear running.

M. Hellyer (SAYORI) reported at scale that his mount was inclined to lay out throughout the event.

B. Cornell (WITHOUT GRIEF) was reprimanded for using his whip in a forehand manner more than 5 times prior to the 100m.

Apprentice J. Orman reported to stewards that JAYELEM did not feel comfortable in its action throughout the event. Stewards will interview trainer S. Hicks regarding the horse’s post-race recovery.

Apprentice N. Nishio, the rider of MAC’S ADDITION, was reprimanded for allowing his mount to shift in under pressure over the concluding stages whilst riding it along, resulting in SLYSERA (J. Orman) being tightened for room and having to be steadied to avoid the heels of MAC’S ADDITION.
