GENERAL

As S. Galloway was indisposed, riding replacements were made as per the Stewards Race Day Summary.


RACE 1: RAILWAY HOTEL RATINGS BAND 0-65 H'CAP – 1650M

WE’RE READY – Held up rounding the home turn and then was disappointed for a run to the inside of ROYAL EVENT upon straightening.

MONSIEUR HUGHES – Began awkwardly. A post-race veterinary examination of the gelding which performed below market expectations failed to reveal any abnormalities. Trainer J. Dann advised that the gelding would be sent for an immediate spell.

CLANGORANDA – Raced wide from the 600m onwards.


RACE 2: GAME ON INTERNATIONAL F&M CLASS 3 H'CAP – 1100M

SHADY DAISY – Commenced to buck shortly after the start and was retired from the event. Trainer L. Ross was advised that the horse must trial to the satisfaction of stewards prior to being permitted to race again.

KATELETTE – Hung out rounding the turn near the 700m.

ASSERTORY – Had to be steadied from the heels of KATELETTE near the 600m. Inclined to lay in over the concluding stages.

INTERLUDE – Slow to begin.

MISS TYPIN – Lost ground rounding the home turn when placed in restricted room between CONMIGO and KATELETTE. A post-race veterinary examination failed to reveal any abnormalities.


RACE 3: QPSIG F&M MAIDEN PLATE – 1200M

The start was delayed when YOU CAN’T FIND ME dislodged its rider behind the barriers.

WHITE HUMOUR – Raced wide throughout. Bumped by SHADES OF PEARL near the 500m and became unbalanced. When questioned as to his tactics, jockey V. Venkaya stated that he was instructed to take up a forward position and after beginning only fairly he rode the mare along in an effort to comply with his instructions which resulted in him being unable to obtain cover and racing three wide throughout. Jockey Venkaya, in hindsight, agreed with stewards that after beginning only fairly he would have been better served attempting to obtain cover at the rear of the field.

PELLONIA – Near the 150m had to be steadied from the heels of FLINDERS PEAK which shifted in marginally.

SHADES OF PEARL – Began very awkwardly. Had to be momentarily steadied when awkwardly placed between runners near the 500m. When questioned as to the horse’s performance, apprentice S. Lacy stated that the filly lost ground at the start after beginning awkwardly. She added that despite this the filly was under pressure leaving the 500m and finished off the race only fairly and in her opinion proved disappointing. Trainer P. Duncan expressed his disappointment in the filly’s overall performance. Mr Duncan was at a loss to explain the performance as the filly had trialled well leading into the race.

YOU CAN’T FIND ME – Dislodged its rider behind the barriers. After cantering for a short distance the horse was recaptured, returned to the barriers, underwent a veterinary examination and cleared to start. Bumped heavily at the start.

AMBER JET – Bumped heavily at the start. Held up for clear running approaching the home turn. Laid in under pressure in the home straight.

VON FAN – Began awkwardly. Raced wide throughout without cover.

RACE 4: XXXX C,G&E MAIDEN PLATE – 1200M

The start was delayed when LUCKY THREE SEVENS underwent a veterinary examination behind the barriers at the request of the rider and was subsequently cleared to start. The start was further delayed when PITBULL underwent a veterinary examination after making contact with the outside running rail during its preliminary and was subsequently cleared to start.

KEEP THE RHYTHM – Raced wide throughout.

LUCKY THREE SEVENS – Slow to begin. Overraced in the early stages. Held up rounding the home turn and was obliged to shift back to the inside to obtain clear running.

MAGHAANEM – Began awkwardly and lost ground. Overraced in the early stages. Hung in in the home straight.

SIR GREGOR – Began awkwardly. Raced wide throughout.

CAFE TERRACE – Began awkwardly. Hung in over the concluding stages.

DASH THING – Slow to begin.

HOPE ISLAND – R. Wiggins reported that the gelding was inclined to lay out in the middle stages and was reluctant to improve to the inside of CAFE TERRACE, resulting in his mount losing ground on the leaders leaving the 600m.

RACE 5: BEAUDESERT SOFT DRINKS QTIS 3YO MAIDEN H'CAP – 1300M
