LEXY CAN ROCK – Prior to the declaration of all clear Driver L.Burns which was placed 6th lodged an objection against the 4th placed THE RINGMASTER alleging interference near the 1200 metres. After taking evidence from both drivers and reviewing the films it was established that near the 1200 metres THE RINGMASTER was shifted down the track resulting in LEXY CAN ROCK being checked and galloping and as a result lost ground. After considering the objection, Stewards dismissed the protest as they were of the opinion that given where the incident took place, the amount of ground lost between both runners and the margin at the end of the race, they could not be comfortably satisfied that had that incident not took place that LEXY CAN ROCK would have finished in front of THE RINGMASTER.

THEY RECON – Broke in the score up and was out of position at the start. Will now be placed outside the draw in future mobile starts. Near the 300 metres became unbalanced and galloped. In view of the mare’s record it will be stood down until it can complete 2 satisfactory trials and for a period of 14 days.

THE RINGMASTER – Driver A. Clancy pleaded guilty to a charge under Rule 163(1)(a)(iii) for causing interference in that near the 1200 metres he shifted his runner down the track when not sufficiently clear of LEXY CAN ROCK and as a result that runner was checked and broke. A. Clancy’s licence to drive in races was suspended for a period of 14 days to commence at midnight 29th October 2021.

BRADNESS JOHNNY – Broke in the score up and was out of position at the start. A warning was issued.
