Race 2: GOOD LUCK INCENTIVISE Maiden Plate 1000 metres
 
Trainer V Heading was fined $100 for presenting his 2 runners in this event to the enclosure with the incorrect gear.
Prior to the declaration of Correct Weight, Stewards considered an objection lodged by Jockey S Bogenhuber the rider of the 4th placed STAR TWINKLE, against SAM’S A NATURAL being declared the winner alleging interference in the home straight. After taking evidence from the parties involved and reviewing the patrol footage, Stewards found that passing the 100m, SAM’S A NATURAL laid in before being corrected by its rider taking STAR TWINKLE off its racing line. Stewards further found that near the 50m, when being struck with the whip SAM’S A NATURAL again laid in resulting in STAR TWIKLE being eased by its rider. Stewards however were not satisfied that interference suffered to STAR TWINKLE exceeded the margin between the runners at the conclusion of the event and therefore dismissed the objection and declared correct weight on the judges semaphored numbers.
 
STAR TWINKLE- Raced in restricted room in the early stages. Raced 3 wide without cover for the majority. Disappointed for run rounding the home turn. Taken in by another runner which was laying in passing the 100m. Steadied to avoid heels near the 50m. At a subsequent inquiry App. M Savva the rider of SAM’S A NATURAL pleaded guilty to charge under the terms of AR131(a) in that she failed to make sufficient effort to prevent her mount from shifting in at that point of the race causing interference to STAR TWINKLE. App. Savva’s license to ride in races was suspended for a period of 7 days to commence at midnight 10.07.21 and to expire at midnight 17.07.21. In considering penalty Stewards took into account App. Savva’s guilty plea, prior record and the racing manners of her mount leading up to the incident.  
 
BELLITA- Jockey N Evans pleaded guilty to a charge under AR 132(5) it that he used his whip excessively during the event, that being on 17 occasions. Jockey Evans’ licence to ride in races was suspended for a period of 11 days to commence midnight 10.7 21 and to expire at midnight 21.7.21.
