WILLOW MIST – Disappointed for a run to the inside of CASINOMAC in the early stages of the home straight.

Race 2: Sheetmetal Improvements Maiden Plate – 1400m

LORD CHAMBERLAIN - Bumped on jumping away and a short distance later had to be steadied when tightened for room. Connections advised that the gelding would take up a mid-field position if circumstances permit. After suffering interference at the start the gelding settled at the rear of the field.

ZARIA’S FIRE - Fractious in the barriers. Began awkwardly, shifted in and bumped LORD CHAMBERLAIN. Leaving the 1200m bumped heavily on a number of occasions and as a result had to be checked and lost ground.

NEWS EDITOR - Began awkwardly and lost ground. Raced wide for majority of event. Near the 500m had to be steadied from heels. Jockey J Taylor reported that it was his intention to take up a position closer to the speed, however, after being slow to begin he was then forced to race further back than anticipated. Jockey Taylor added that near the 1200m and again near the 500m he was hampered as a result of interference forward of him and that when afforded clear running in the home straight, the gelding finished the race off well.

YANKEE FLYER - Slow to begin. Raced wide for majority of event. Near the 500m steadied from the heels of BARNWELL which was weakening.

BARNWELL - Shifted out abruptly at the start and made heavy contact with AUDREE and then became unbalanced. Bumped near the 1300m. Raced 3 wide without cover throughout. A post-race veterinary examination of the gelding which commenced to weaken leaving the 500m and tailed off revealed a laceration to its near fore hoof.

Race 3: Burleigh Bears Leagues Club QTIS 2yo Maiden H’cap – 1400m
1st – Old Tex 2nd – Fiery Heights 3rd – Xylophone 4th – Fogoso

OLD TEX – The start was delayed when the gelding dislodged Jockey J Taylor on the way to the barriers. After undergoing a veterinary examination the gelding was passed to start. When questioned regarding the tactics adopted, Jockey J Taylor stated that he was instructed to ride the gelding positively out of the barriers to take up a forward position, however, it was not his intention to lead but when positioned outside of PELLONIA in the early stages he elected to push forward to lead. When questioned as to the seemingly improved performance, Trainer H Page stated that the gelding had performed well when ridden in a similar manner 3 starts ago and had appreciated the step-up in distance from its last start.

COSMIC GIGGLE - Slow to begin.

WICKED INVESTMENT - Slow to muster speed in the early stages despite the efforts of its rider and as a result was forced to settle further back than anticipated and then had to race extremely wide rounding the home turn.

Jockey A Spinks was advised to exercise more care in similar circumstances in future.

PRETTY LUCKY – Near the 250m steadied when tightened for room.

App. Stanley further added that when asked to improve passing the 600m the horse travelled strongly and finished the race off well. Stewards advised App. Stanley that she should have made greater use of the horse in the early stages to attempt to maintain a position to the inside of IT’S ON THE POCKET.


Race 6: Powrgard Class 3 H’cap – 1100m
1st – American Spirit 2nd – Saint Hugo 3rd – Regal Trader 4th – Sagacious Flame

The start was delayed when CANNY AND THE JET was fractious in the barriers requiring the near side stirrup leather to be adjusted.

CANNY AND THE JET – Slow to begin. Failed to muster speed despite the efforts of its rider and as a result did not take any competitive part in the race. Trainer S Kendrick advised that the gelding would now be sent for a spell. Notwithstanding, Mr Kendrick was advised that the gelding must trial on 2 occasions prior to starting again. A post-race veterinary examination failed to reveal any apparent abnormalities at the time of examination.

TWISTED MOUNTAIN – When questioned as to the tactics adopted in the early stages when endeavouring to obtain the lead resulting in a fast tempo being set, Jockey C Whiteley stated that his instructions were to lead and that the gelding had performed best when able to lead. Jockey Whiteley added that in the early stages AMERICAN SPIRIT persisted in maintaining a position to his inside requiring him to make more use of the gelding than he would have liked before obtaining the lead passing the 800m. Whilst noting the fast tempo that was set Jockey Whiteley was of the opinion that the gelding is better suited over 1000m.

WHATAWALTZ - When questioned as to the seemingly improved performance, stable representative B Rogers stated that at its last start when first up from a spell, the gelding had to be restrained from a wide barrier to take up a position closer to the fence. Mr Rogers added that the gelding appreciated the step-up in distance today and from the inside barrier was able to settle closer to the speed.

TRIBAL ART – The gelding bled during the event. As this was the second occasion on which TRIBAL ART had bled, it will incur a lifetime ban from racing under the provisions of AR53A.


Race 8: SEQ Division Class 1 H’cap – 1800m
