RACE 1 – BEST EMPLOYMENT/RSM CLUB THREE YEAR OLD PACE – 2000 metres

Pre race blood samples were collected from TRALEE CHIC.

LITTLE BOLT (A Millard) broke stride part way through the score up which resulted in the gelding being out of position at the start and a warning was issued.

TIGER COURAGE (A Varga) broke stride when negotiating the first turn and when racing at the rear of the field as the field entered the back straight in the final lap the filly again raced roughly.  Warnings were issued.

MY ULTIMATE ROMEO (N Dawson) had a tendency to hang out at varying stages of the event when in the lead.

RACE 2 – INVERELL VET CLINIC/WADE STREET MEATS PACE – 2000 metres

Pre race blood samples were collected from GROOVY MISS ANNIE.

MENDLESOHN (B Millard) raced roughly in the early stages of the score up and a further warning was issued.

ALWAYS A LEXUS (M Young) broke stride when racing wide on the first turn to drop back and check JAKES ARK (M Faulkner).  A warning was issued against ALWAYS A LEXUS.

WHATTS UP LETSPLAY (D Chapple) broke stride when moving towards the two wide line as the field moved into the first turn and a warning was issued.

TRUE FEELINGS (A Varga) which raced towards the rear of the field on the marker pegs had a tendency to over race which contributed to the mare tiring over the concluding stages to finish well back beaten in excess of 100 metres.  Stewards deemed the performance to be unsatisfactory and stood TRUE FEELINGS down until it can requalify.

D Gatt-Bouquet (BALLATOR THOR) was suspended for 21 days under Rule 163(1)(a)(iii) in that when manoeuvring towards a marker pegs position as the field moved into the first turn done so without clearance over CRONIN (M Faulkner) which was racing on its inside resulting in a contact to that gelding’s off side fore leg which hooked in the round back of BALLATOR THOR’S sulky for a short distance to be severely checked.  When considering this matter Stewards took into account D Gatt-Bouquet’s  driving record and guilty plea.
