GENERAL
 
The following horses were declared late scratching’s by Stewards due to no riders being available at the meeting:
Race 4: INVADER'S GIRL
Race 5: FINAL COMMENT
 
Stewards accepted the reasons given by trainers in regards to the late declaration of riders at today’s meeting.
 
Race 1: SNOW AND MARY HALL MEMORIAL / TJF MILK CLASS 1 HANDICAP 1000 Metres
 
FLASHMASTER – Began awkwardly and lost ground as a result.
 
GUNBOAT – Laid in under pressure in the home straight.
 
LOADED WEAPON – Began awkwardly.
 
MIDNIGHT MAGGIE (NZ) – Began awkwardly.
 
EGYPTIAN LASS – The start of this race was delayed when EGYPTIAN LASS broke through the barriers during the loading process and harmlessly dislodged the rider and galloped a considerable distance before being recaptured. The mare was subsequently declared a late scratching by Stewards on Veterinary advise at 1.17pm. Trainer B Johnson was advised that the gelding would require a further satisfactory barrier certificate prior to being permitted to race again.
 
Prior to the declaration of correct weight, Stewards declared that all bets placed on EGYPTIAN LASS be refunded with the following deductions to apply:
1st – MAYBE - 22c win, 23c place
2nd – MIDNIGHT MAGGIE (NZ) – 23c place
 
MILK MAID – Began awkwardly. Raced wide throughout the event.
 
 
Race 2: JT COX BENCHMARK 65 HANDICAP 1000 Metres
 
SINGLE HONOR – Began awkwardly. Laid in under pressure in the home straight.
 
TANGO FAME – Slow to begin. Jockey E Bell reported that in her opinion, the gelding was not suited by the fast pace in today’s event and will be better suited in races over a further distance.
 
BOURBON LANE – Raced wide throughout.
 
WON FOR VICKI – Began awkwardly and blundered on jumping.
 
SALTCLAY – Began awkwardly and shifted inwards shortly after jumping.
 
 
Race 3: GRAHAM HILL MAUNSELL MEMORIAL MAIDEN PLATE 1200 Metres
 
LISTING CAPITAL – Began very awkwardly and shifted in on jumping resulting in the gelding losing ground. Jockey T Townsend reported that after losing ground at the start, in her opinion the gelding resented the kickback from todays racing surface.
 
PRINCE SEVRES – Became fractious on route to the barriers and dislodged Apprentice Jockey J Miller and galloped a considerable distance before being recaptured. The gelding was subsequently declared a late scratching by Stewards on Veterinary advise at 2.45pm. Trainer M Pitman was advised a warning would be placed on the gelding’s pre-race manners. Apprentice Miller was examined by the on-course QAS Officers including the completion of a Head Injury Assessment Form to determine any signs of concussion and was passed suitable to fulfill his remaining rides at the meeting. A post-race Veterinary examination revealed the gelding to be lame in the near hind leg. Trainer M Pitman was advised that PRINCE SEVRES would require a Veterinary certificate before racing or trialling again.
 
Prior to the declaration of correct weight, Stewards declared that all bets placed on PRINCE SEVRES be refunded with the following deductions to apply:
1st – LOQUITO - 12c win, 14c place
2nd – CORONATION DAY – 14c place
 
CORONATION DAY – Began awkwardly, shifted in and bumped ZAMUNDA QUEEN.
 
FYANSFORD FLYER – Blundered on jumping.
 
LOQUITO – Began awkwardly and shifted in shortly after jumping. Shied at the winning post at the conclusion of the event and shifted out abruptly.

SALT LAKE BETTY – Jockey T Townsend reported that the mare was inclined to lay in throughout the event.
 
ALL VALOUR – Raced wide throughout the event.
 
KIJIVU – Jockey S Galvin reported that the gelding travelled well to the 600m and then failed to respond to riding from that point and proved disappointing in his finishing effort. A post-race Veterinary examination revealed no apparent abnormalities.
 
JAMACRI – Began awkwardly and as a result lost ground.
 
INVADER'S GIRL – Declared a late scratching by Stewards at 12.15pm due to no riders being available at the meeting to ride the mare at the allocated weight.
 
 
Race 5: BRXB JUNDAH CUP OPEN HANDICAP 1400 Metres
 
CALL OUT – Shifted in shortly after jumping.
 
DECIDUOUS – Began awkwardly and shifted in on jumping. Apprentice Jockey C Stuart pleaded guilty to a charge pursuant to AR132(7)(a)(i) and was issued a severe reprimand in that he used his whip consecutively on two occasions prior to the 100m. In assessing penalty, Stewards considered Apprentice Stuarts unblemished record in relation to the rule, status as an apprentice, remorse and guilty plea. Stewards were also mindful that the totality of whip use was 7 times throughout the race.
 
FINE SHOT – Began awkwardly.
 
I AM GOOD AT THIS – Raced wide throughout the event.
 
NORTHUMBRIA – Inclined to lay in over the concluding stages of the event.
