A pre race veterinary examination of PRETZELS, which had blood present in its mouth cleared the mare to start after it was found to have bit its tongue.

The start was delayed when SHINER required farrier attention after the gelding sprung its near fore plate.

ZARMARSKI (M. McKenzie (a)) which was fractious in the barriers, and LOOSE CANNON (A. Smith(a)) were both slow to begin.

MURPHY’S PROSPECT (K. Gates (a)) was slow to begin and lost valuable ground.

Leaving the 1400m JUST THE ROCK (B. Hull) commenced to overrace, shifted in slightly placing LOVE THAT CHICK (R. Hancock) in restricted racing room for a short distance.

B. Derbyshire (a) the rider of OH SUNDAY pleaded guilty to a charge of careless riding under AR137(a) for permitting her mount to shift in near the 1200m when not sufficiently clear of JUST THAT ROCK, forcing that runner in onto LOVE THAT CHICK, resulting in LOVE THAT CHICK having to be checked. B. Derbyshire was suspended from riding in races for a period covered by 5 meetings to commence at m/n 29th April 2012 and to expire at m/n 7th May 2012.

DIEHARD TRYING (L. Appo) hung out leaving the home straight on the first occasion.

1st – SUHAILAH 2nd- DOUBLE ROSE 3rd- TRULY VEXING 4th- YOUR MOVE

A delay to the start of this event was caused due to the clubs ambulance officers having to treat two licensees, who were injured in the saddling enclosure.

ICE GREY (S. Drake) and PERSIAN BOOK (J. Kropp) were both slow to begin.

ICE GREY raced greenly during the early stages and at a point near the 850m, shifted in abruptly resulting in PERSIAN BOOK having to be severely checked and lose considerable ground. Stewards advised Mr G. Cornish the trainer of ICE GREY that the filly would have to compete satisfactorily in an official trial prior to being permitted to race again.

ICE GREY had to be momentarily steadied near the 250m when awkwardly placed at the heels of PERSIAN BOOK which shifted in slighty.
