Steward Comment

Trainer G. Boyd was fined $300 for failing to notify a change of tactics in that the horse raced back in the field today, which was in contrast to its usual racing pattern of racing in a forward position.

Had to be restrained from heels for some distance after passing the 600m. Had to be eased passing the 400m when disappointed for a run between STORMY GREY and ARGIE BARGIE, which laid in at that stage.

Steward Comment

When questioned regarding the horse’s poor performance, apprentice A. Fancourt stated that when placed under pressure the gelding did not feel entirely comfortable in its action. A post-race veterinary examination revealed no significant findings other than that the horse had poor post-race recovery.
