Race 1: MELBOURNE CUP LUNCHEON AT ITC QTIS 3YO MAIDEN PLATE – 1200M

Correct weight was delayed to allow trainer M. Nolan and apprentice J. Orman, the rider of EXCITING DOLL, to view the stewards' patrol footage to ascertain whether there were grounds to lodge an objection against the winner for an incident near the 400m. After viewing the videos, connections indicated they did not wish to proceed and correct weight was declared on the numbers semaphored.

BUSH LAWYER – Inconvenienced and forced wider near the 400m. Made the home turn awkwardly and shifted out.

TEN SPEED – Overraced in the early stages. T. Harrison was found guilty of a charge of careless riding under AR. 137(a) in that near the 400m she permitted her mount to shift out around the heels of RED SRAAD, making heavy contact with EXCITING DOLL, resulting in EXCITING DOLL becoming unbalanced and its rider apprentice Orman becoming unbalanced in the saddle. As a consequence, EXCITING DOLL shifted out, resulting in BUSH LAWYER and POETIC SAGA being taken wider on the track and hampered. T. Harrison's licence to ride in races was suspended for a period of 7 meetings, to commence at midnight on Friday 24 October and expire at midnight on Sunday 2 November 2014.

EXCITING DOLL – Stood flat-footed at the start and lost ground. Bumped heavily near the 400m and became unbalanced. Apprentice J. Orman stated that due to this bump his saddle slipped, which placed him at a disadvantage in riding the filly out in his normal manner.
