Auckland TC - Friday, 12th July 2019
Race 7 - GILBERT SHEETMETALS HANDICAP PACE
Mr Herlihy advised Stewards that THE MOONSHADOW skipped away for a couple of strides from its 20 metre handicap mark and was slower away than normal. He attempted to shift off the running line approaching the first turn but was kept inside by JUICE BROGDEN. As a result he eased to the rear of the 7 horse field approaching the 2000 metres and from that point on the race was run at a good tempo with M T POCKETS racing outside the leader. The field quickened inside the 800 metres (57.4 sec) making it difficult to improve wide so he elect to improve inside on the running line rounding the final turn, momentarily held up by the weakening OHOKA JOHNNY approaching the 200 metres and again late in the run to the finishing line. Stewards accepted his explanation.

RUBY ROSE - held up briefly final turn. Driver T Herlihy was questioned in relation to his apparent lack of vigor when driving the filly out over the final stages. Mr Herlihy stated that RUBY ROSE does not respond to the use of the whip so he elected not to turn the whip after being held up early and to drive the filly out with the reins. He further stated that he felt RUBY ROSE had come to the end of her run inside the final 50 metres and was doing her best. After considering the matter, Mr Herlihy's explanation was noted and he was advised to ensure that he drives in such a manner, given similar circumstances, so as to leave no room for query.
