Race Comments

Race 1   JIM HURRING MEMORIAL HANDICAP TROT
DANKE - shifted outward to race in a half carting position briefly approaching the 1400 metres and then shifted fully to a two wide position passing the 1400 metres forcing another runner to race wider on the track. Trotted roughly for a few strides when being shifted wider on the track passing the 100 metres. Driver G Martin admitted a charge under Rule 869(4), (6)(b)(c) in that he breached the 'Push Out Rule' passing the 1400 metres when forcing CAITLIN'S SURPRISE, which was making a forward movement, to race wider on the track. The JCA imposed a $200 fine.
CAPELLI - trotted unevenly passing the 900 metres and broke briefly losing ground. Junior Driver B Butcher was cautioned for the manner in which he shifted ground outward when racing to the inside of CAITLIN'S SURPRISE and DANKE near the 100 metres.
LUNDQVIST - broke rounding the first turn and lost ground settling at the rear. Broke again passing the 800 metres. The gelding was declared ineligible until such time as it trials satisfactorily.
SUPERFAST NINJA - broke entering the first turn losing considerable ground.
CAITLIN'S SURPRISE - forced to race three wide passing the 1400 metres when improving forward. Inconvenienced briefly passing the 100 metres.

TURKISH TROUSERS - raced three back on the outer but only battled into a dead heat for fifth beaten 2.2 lengths. When questioned regarding the performance Driver J Curtin advised that he was disappointed with the run after enjoying an economical trip throughout and felt that the 1.58.4 mile rate may have been the main reason for the mare being unable to make up ground in the run home.
OUR WICKLOW - raced three wide early before improving to lead.
Race 3   MEDIA WORK'S MOBILE PACE
RED TERROR - Trainer S Dickson was issued a $50 Minor Infringement Notice for the late notification of the removal of sliding blinds.

BEAUDIENE EMERALD - Junior Driver B Butcher was charged with a breach of Rule 869(3)(b) in that he drove carelessly near the 500 metres when shifting his mare outwards which resulted in ERROL FINN (S Abernethy) being checked and pacing roughly.
