Trainer D. Gollan was fined $100 for failing to declare a rider for KOSITA by the prescribed time.

Trainer N. Saunders was fined $100 for failing to declare a rider for WHISPRIAN by the prescribed time.

At an early request by K. Kemp, trainer of ITS THIRSTY WORK, stewards permitted the addition of blinkers to that horse’s gear. This was advertised by way of media release, radio and course announcer. Subsequently, K. Kemp was fined the sum of $100 for the late declaration of that gear.

The start was delayed when LORDLY shied and dislodged J. Letherby in its preliminary. Whilst LORDLY was loose, WHISPRIAN took fright from that horse, disloding its rider, M. Abe. Both horses were caught after travelling a short distance and examined by the veteriary surgeon and cleared to start. Both J. Letherby and M. Abe advised they were clear of any injuries and able to fulfil their engagements.

STARBURST (A. Best) and ASIDE (A. Merritt) were both slow to begin.

SHEZA FLASHLADY (T. Fujinuma) began awkwardly and lost ground.

LAMBERT (C. Maund) shifted out shortly after the start, forcing TRUE BLUE ANGEL (K. Yoshida) out on to DON’T CALL ME CRAZY (R. Hinricks).

Rounding the home turn, WHISPRIAN (M. Abe) had to be momentarily steadied when hampered by LORDLY (J. Letherby), which shifted out.

Near the 200m, LORDLY (J. Letherby) shifted out under pressure, slightly inconveniencing IT’S THIRSTY WORK (N. Tomizawa).

CORONADO (N. Evans) and KOSITA (S. Bogenhuber) raced wide for the majority of the event.

DON’T CALL ME CRAZY raced greenly and had a tendency to lay out throughout the race. Trainer P. Sexton was advised that a warning would be placed on the filly regarding its racing manners.


Race 2: Paul Hannat Memorial Race Class 4 H'cap – 1625m
1st – Eedeeal 2nd –Lovmieko 3rd – Sarista 4th –

As A. Best was to be overweight, N. Tomizawa was substituted as the rider of BEURRE. A. Best was fined $100.

CHIEF CHERON (J. Letherby), ARDMILAN (N. Yamada) and SARISTA (R. Hinricks) were all tightened for room at the start between MALELA (C. Maund), which shifted out, and EEDEEAL (A. Spinks), which shifted in. CHIEF CHERON lost ground as a result of this incident.

Shortly after the start, SARISTA commenced to race ungenerously and threw its head in the air and did so for some distance.

CHIEF CHERON raced wide in the early and middle stages.

C. Maund, rider of MALELA, dropped his whip near the 300m.

When questioned into the seemingly disappointing performance of OFTEN WRONG, K. Yoshida stated this was the mare’s first start over 1600m and that it overraced in the middle stages of the race. He added that as a result OFTEN WRONG was obliged to race wide without cover and, in his opinion, proved disappointing. Trainer R. Lipp will be interviewed regarding the horse’s performance. A post race veterinary examination of OFTEN WRONG failed to reveal any significant abnormalities and a swab sample was taken.

INNOCENT BILLY (N. Tomizawa), LOSTRIS (A. Merritt) and SPINADA (T. Fujinuma) all raced wide for the majority of the race.

When questioned regarding the seemingly disapointing performance of LOSTRIS, A. Merritt stated that the horse was obliged to race wide in the early and middle stages, however when placed under pressure leaving the 600m, the mare failed to respond to his riding and proved disappointing after compounding in the straight. A post race veterinary examination of LOSTRIS failed to reveal any significant abnormalities.
