MR STACK – Rider L. Tilley advised Stewards that the gelding travelled well throughout the event but failed to finish the race off as he had anticipated. Rider Tilley attributed the performance to the gelding resuming from a significant break and that Mr Stack would take benefit from the run.

LIVELY LASS – Raced three wide throughout the event.

HUSH PUPPY – Slow into stride. Baulked at the running rail passing the 500m and became awkward in its stride almost dislodging its rider. Trainer K. Afford was advised a warning would be placed on the racing manners of the gelding.

I AM JIMMY – Laid out passing the 800m carrying VAN D’ORO out onto MOVE BY.

MOVE BY – Hampered passing the 800m. Hampered and carried wider passing the 200m.

Race 3: BUTLER MCDERMOTT LAWYERS AUSTRALIA DAY BENCHMARK 55 Handicap (1200 METRES)
 
SWAN ISLAND – Approaching the 300m had to be restrained to avoid the heels of PEACHIES DREAM which shifted in when not fully clear. Apprentice I. Teh (PEACHIES DREAM) in the presence of senior rider G. Steele, pleaded guilty to a charge pursuant to AR131(a) for allowing her mount to shift in when insufficiently clear of SWAN ISLAND. After hearing submissions on penalty, Stewards suspended Apprentice I. Teh from riding in races for a period of 7 days to commence midnight 26th January 2022 to midnight 2nd February 2022.
