GANADO EXPRESS – Raced four wide without cover during the early and middle stages of the event. When questioned in regards to the seemingly disappointing performance of Ganado Express, jockey G. Geran stated that after beginning only fairly, he was forced to pressure the gelding in the early stages of the event in an attempt to race in a forward position. He further added that Ganado Express was unable to muster the necessary speed to improve and as a result raced in a wide position and proved disappointing over the concluding stages of the event. A post-race veterinary examination of Ganado Express failed to reveal and significant findings.

BUSH BEAT – Raced three wide without cover during the early and middle stages of the event.


Race 2 – S&C AYRE LIVESTOCK TRANSPORT BMK 70 HCP - 1000M:

MYSTERY ANGEL – Raced wide throughout.

Stewards inquired into the reasons for DESERT LAIR (M. O’Brien) and REGAL PRINCE (N. Morton), which were drawn in barriers two and four respectively, were loaded into the incorrect barriers. After taking evidence from both riders and the starter, Jockey M. O’Brien and Apprentice N.

Both DESERT LAIR and REGAL PRINCE were subsequently re-loaded into their correct barrier stalls prior to the start of the event.

DESERT LAIR – Was slow into stride.

MANCHEBO – G. Geran the rider of Manchebo was questioned into the seemingly disappointing performance of the gelding. Jockey G. Geran stated that after obtaining a forward position outside the leader, he elected to place the gelding under pressure from the 500m and in his opinion, proved disappointing over the concluding stages. He further added that Manchebo might not have been suited to the prevailing track conditions. A post race veterinary examination of Manchebo failed to reveal any significant findings.
