Race 5 - PINELEA FARM STUNIN CULLEN SPRINT SERIES FINAL MOBILE PACE
Stewards have concluded their investigation into an incident near the 1000 metres. After reviewing video coverage and questioning drivers K Butt (TAKITIMU EXPRESS), T Quate (WAR HORSE) and A Suddaby (JETENARA) it was established that upon entering the bend JETENARA had hung inwards which resulted in WAR HORSE being crowded and forced inwards onto TAKITIMU EXPRESS, with both runners locking sulky wheels for a distance as a consequence. Although Stewards placed significant weight on the racing manners of JETENARA, driver A Suddaby was spoken to advisedly when in similar circumstances.
Race 11 - DUNEDIN HOLIDAY PARK & MOTELS MOBILE PACE
Trainer D Simpson has advised Stewards that BEVAN'S CULLEN has pulled up well following its run on Thursday night at Forbury Park with Mr Simpson adding that gear changes will be made prior to its next engagement in an attempt to cure its hanging tendencies.
