GENERAL
Due to a predicted maximum temperature of 36 degrees this race meeting was conducted within the provisions of the Queensland Racing Integrity Commission Caring for Racing Animals in Extreme Heat Policy (1A).
 
The commencement of the race meeting was delayed due to electrical issues within the racecourse precinct.
 
Race 1: AUZSCOT CIVIL CLASS B HANDICAP 1100m

WHO AM I – Was hampered on jumping by another runner which shifted out abruptly.
 
HIDONAL – Slowly into stride.
 
PIMP MY RIDE – Raced wide for the majority.
 
PALM SPRINGS – Commenced to lose ground near the 950m and was reluctant to stretch out for the remainder of the event. A post-race Veterinary examination failed to reveal any abnormalities.  Trainer Mr. K Krogh was advised that a warning would be placed on the gelding’s competitiveness.
 
Race 2: BOOTH RURAL/JOHNSONS GRADER HIRE MAIDEN PLATE 1200m
 
Due to a misunderstanding Jockey S Galvin was dually engaged to ride both BOY IN A MILLION and FLOSSY in this event. After consultation between Stewards and the Trainers of both horses,
Jockey Galvin fulfilled his obligation to ride BOY IN A MILLION and FLOSSY was ridden by Jockey D Sparks. No action was taken against any party.
 
As no other rider was available Stewards permitted Jockey D Ballard to ride SPEECHMAKER 1kg over its allotted weight. Jockey Ballard was penalised under the provisions of AR120(b).
 
EXPERIENCED – Slowly into stride.
 
ZIZANGGA ZOU – Slowly into stride. Was tightened between runners on jumping. Jockey Ms. T Tincknell advised that the mare had failed to handle the track conditions, resenting the kickback in running. Trainer Ms. T Parry was advised that a warning would be placed on the mare’s competitiveness.
 
IMA POCKET ROCKET – Raced wide for the majority.
 
BOY IN A MILLION – Raced wide for the majority.
 
Race 3: SN GABBERT CONSTRUCTIONS CLASS 3 PLATE 1200m
 
As Jockey D Ballard was to be overweight he was replaced by Jockey R Mc Mahon as the rider of SLITHERING SUZIE. Jockey Ballard was fined the sum of $100.00 under the provisions of AR120(b).
 
SLITHERING SUZIE – Slowly into stride. Raced 3 wide for the majority.
 
INNER SILENCE – Shifted out abruptly soon after jumping.
 
Race 4: MCKINLAY SHIRE COUNCIL BENCHMARK 45 HANDICAP 1350m
 
DENLAGO – Was fractious in the barriers.
 
LADY VIDA – Slowly into stride. Raced wide for the majority.
 
AL MAH ROCKET – Slowly into stride.
 
PURFLEET PRINCESS – Raced wide for the majority.
 
DUAL PERSONALITY – When questioned in relation to what on face value was an improved performance in comparison to the gelding’s previous start Trainer Ms. T Parry stated DUAL PERSONALITY had benefitted from the drop in class of today’s event, and had jumped cleanly today which allowed the gelding to race in a prominent position where he was able to avoid the kickback in running. Ms. Parry also believed that the engagement of a stronger rider had played a part in today’s performance.
 
Race 5: JULIA CREEK HOTEL TOP PUB BENCHMARK 65 HANDICAP 1350m
 
AS no other rider was available Stewards permitted Jockey D Ballard to ride HOLEY GADOLEY 1kg over its allotted weight. Jockey Ballard was penalised under the provisions of AR120(b).
