Race Comments
Race 1 CRITERION HOTEL MOBILE PACE Video  Video 
RILEY DYLAN was unable to maintain its position prior to the start inconveniencing CHEROKEE RED. A warning was placed on the mobile barrier record of RILEY DYLAN.
BLUES SINGER paced roughly passing the 2000 metres.
EXTREME PRINCESS was inclined to over-race in the middle stages.
RILEY DYLAN was tightened and broke losing all chance near the 900 metres when inside DOVER DELIGHT which shifted in when not clear. Also affected in this incident was BLUES SINGER which had to take evasive action. Driver D Broadhurst admitted a breach of Rule 869(3)(b) in that he shifted ground when not clear. After consideration the judicial committee suspended D Broadhurst's licence to drive in races from the conclusion of racing on the 26 April up to the conclusion of racing on 24 May 2015.
EXTREME PRINCESS paced roughly when negotiating the crossing at the 600 metres.
CHEROKEE RED was held up rounding the turn and had to be angled wider passing the 200 metres to obtain clear racing room.
COLONEL CUSTARD was held up rounding the turn until near the 150 metres.
When questioned regarding the performance of TENACIOUS BROMAC, driver S Golding explained the gelding had been unsuited to having to work in the middle stages to take up a forwards position and that on the second day of the meeting he intended to drive the horse with a sit should circumstances permit.
