RACE 1: SUB-ZERO AIRCONDITIONING CLASS 2 HANDICAP 1100 M

CONCESSION - Near the 100m rider had to take action and shift in and away from the riderless DUBIOUS SIX which shifted in, I’M LUCKY TWO which was following had to alter course and shift out around CONCESSION to obtain clear running. Cast the off fore plate in running.

DUBIOUS SIX – Began awkwardly resulting in apprentice K. Lenton becoming extremely unbalanced and being dislodged as short distance later. K. Lenton sustained a harmless fall and walked unaided from the track. K. Lenton was examined by QAS officers and was subsequently cleared to continue riding. A post-race veterinary examination revealed a superficial laceration to the geldings off-hind leg.

I'M LUCKY TWO – Near the 150m shifted to the inside of CONCESSION when that runner shifted out, a short distance later had to alter course and shift out around CONCESSION to obtain clear running.

CHILPUR – Required to be re-saddled behind the barriers. Rider G. Cartwright advised that while she was able to lead as per her instructions, she was required to pressure the mare early and this may have had an effect as CHILPUR was under pressure from the 400m and failed to respond to her riding. A post-race veterinary examination revealed a slight laceration to the mare’s mouth otherwise no apparent abnormalities were detected.

SILVER GLITTER - Required to be re-saddled behind the barriers. Slow to begin and then a short distance later was checked and lost considerable ground when the riderless DUBIOUS SIX shifted in.

BONTOBEWILD – Hung in over the final 150m, placing rider B. Stower at a disadvantage in being able to fully test her mount.

ABOVE THE WORLD – Stood flat footed and lost considerable ground. Near the 800m shifted wider and away from the heels of LAVONI which shifted in. Trainer B. Chesser was advised a warning would be placed on the mare for standing flat-footed.


RACE 2: SOUTHERN CROSS SHEDS BENCHMARK 70 HANDICAP 1100 M

MOMACK – Raced wide without cover throughout.

MEDALS – Apprentice C. Lowe was unable to offer any explanation for the disappointing performance. A post-race veterinary examination revealed no apparent abnormalities.

CAN'T GETWHATIWANT – Raced wide from the 800m.

ROTHGO – Raced wide throughout.

ADALIE – Slow to begin and was unable to muster speed in the early stages. Approaching the 800m, was steadied when racing in restricted room between MEDALS and CAN’T GETWHATIWANT which shifted in marginally. Near the 550m was disappointed for a run when CAN’T GETWHATIWANT laid in and as a result had to be steadied from the heels of ZA HIDDEN DRAGON. When asked to comment on the performance, rider G. Geran stated that the mare did not step well from the barriers and failed to show any early speed and when crowded for room in the early stages, was obliged to settle further back in the field than anticipated. G. Geran added the mare never travelled comfortably and when placed under pressure from the home turn did not respond to his riding and in his opinion was disappointing.

CARRIBEAN KING (NZ) – Began awkwardly.

BUTT HEADS - Began awkwardly.

ZA HIDDEN DRAGON – Leaving the 200m had to be steadied from the HEELS of ROTHGO which shifted in under pressure. Apprentice E. Molloy, the rider of ROTHGO, was reprimanded for careless riding under the provisions of AR31(a) in this incident.


RACE 3: HANNAS TOOWOOMBA RATINGS BAND 0 - 58 HANDICAP 1625 M

GOTEBO – Apprentice J. Metcalfe was questioned regarding the tactics adopted, specifically her riding in the middle stages when racing outside of the leader MUCHACHO. J. Metcalfe stated her instructions were to give the gelding a dig out of the barriers and to ride forward and find the fence. J. Metcalfe added that when racing forward she was unable to cross the leader and near the 1400m positioned her mount outside MUCHACHO. J. Metcalfe further added that the gelding never travelled comfortably and whilst she felt the tempo of the race was a bit quick, she could not hold her mount. Trainer P. Wallace confirmed the instruction’s adding that the gelding has had a previous throat operation and can choke down if restrained. Stewards’ in considering the evidence tendered, advised apprentice J. Metcalfe that she had made an error in judgement, whilst mindful of her instructions, she should have attempted to restrain her mount near the 1000m in an attempt to come back and sit off MUCHACHO, to allow the gelding to possibly settle and race at a more suitable tempo, which would benefit the gelding in its finishing effort. In considering the evidence, including the relative inexperience of apprentice J. Metcalfe, Stewards did not take any further action other than refer apprentice Metcalfe’s ride to the Racing Queensland Training department for further tuition. A post-race veterinary examination revealed no apparent abnormalities.

VON BEE (NZ) – Began awkwardly. Near the 1400m improved onto heels and when steadied, raced keenly for a short distance.

BRAVE BOY – Laid in when placed under pressure from the 150m and near the 50m rider M. Murphy was obliged to stop riding and straighten. Rider M. Murphy advised that his mount failed to show any early speed and while his mount settled back further than anticipated, he was mindful of the quick pace of the race. He added that his mount responded to his riding from the 600m and ran on well to the finish.

MUCHACHO – Jumped awkwardly and shifted out abruptly.

RED COBRA – Near the 1500m was momentarily steadied when SO YOU CAN TORQUE shifted out marginally.

ELLTITUDE – Near the 350m blundered and lost ground after clipping the heels of TICKLE MY TOSEN which shifted in when not clear. Rider G. Geran (TICKLE MY TOSEN) pleaded guilty to a charge of careless riding under the provisions of AR131(a), in that near the 350m, he failed to make sufficient effort to prevent his mount from shifting in when riding his mount along resulting in ELLITUDE clipping heels, blundering and losing ground. G. Geran’s license to ride in races was suspended for a period of 11 days to commence midnight 29 November 2025 and to expire midnight 10 December 2025. When determining penalty, Stewards considered G. Geran’s good record in relation to this rule, guilty plea and the QRIC careless riding penalty guidelines. Apprentice K. Lenton was reprimanded under the provisions of AR132(6)(c) for using her whip on her mount which is clearly out of contention. Apprentice K. Lenton reported that the mare felt sore in the front upon pulling up. A post-race veterinary examination revealed the mare to be lame in the near foreleg. Co-trainer C. Geran was advised that ELLTITUDE would require a veterinary clearance will be required prior to racing again.

Lenton further added that PUROSANGE had also shown a keenness to proceed to the barriers like this evening, however she had no concerns with how the gelding arrived at the barriers and did not require any veterinary assessment.
