Race 2: BUTLERS CONCRETE CONTRACTORS BENCHMARK 58 Handicap 1000 metres

KAORU KING - Began awkwardly. Raced wide without cover until a point near the 500m. Stewards questioned trainer J Edwards in relation to the seemingly improved performance. Mr Edwards advised that as the gelding was having its first start for his stable in tonight’s event, he was unable to comment on the horses’ prior form. Mr Edwards did however advise that the gelding had jumped out well in preparation for tonight’s event and as such had expected a forward showing. Stewards noted the explanation.

App N Fazakerley was of the opinion this factor, combined with the large weight impost the gelding was required to carry were the major contributing factors to the performance. A post-race veterinary examination revealed no significant abnormalities.

Mr Sexton undertook to advise stewards in the days subsequent to tonight’s meeting should any abnormality become apparent which may have had an effect on the mare’s performance in tonight’s event.

Jockey K Yoshida advised that as a result of this the filly raced keenly in the early stages whilst being restrained which he felt resulted in the horse failing to run on from the 600m.
