SHOPPING WISE-Stewards questioned jockey B Pengelly in relation to him appearing to not ride his mount out over the concluding stages of the event. Jockey Pengelly advised that in running he has sustained an injury to his back which was hampering him to an extent which resulted in him not being able to fully test his mount as he had wished, practically when using the whip. Stewards when considering the matter took into account that Jockey Pengelly was stood down for his remaining engagements following race one by the ambulance officials owing to a back injury and therefore noted Jockey Pengelly’s explanation and took no further action. Jockey Pengelly was advised he will be required to obtain a medical certificate prior to next ridden.
