Race Comments

Race 1   WELCOME TO JOHN PAUL II CENTRE FOR LIFE RACE NIGHT MOB PACE
PAT CAMPBELL - over-raced early stages when being restrained to obtain cover. Had difficulty obtaining clear racing room and then had to be steadied passing the 100 metres when crowded by an outside runner.
BARKLEY - raced three wide throughout.
RUSSIAN EXPRESS - lay inwards on the final bend. Paced roughly in the home straight before breaking late in the run home. A post-race veterinary examination revealed no obvious abnormalities.
ASCALABUS - out of position at the start despite the efforts of driver J Keast. A warning was placed on the barrier record of the gelding.
COPPERFIELD - raced keenly through the middle stages. Held up final bend and for the majority of the home straight. Driver T Williams was spoken to for the manner in which he shifted ground near the 100 metres which briefly restricted the available room of another runner.
SIMPLY DREAMING - out of position at the start and failed to take any part in the race. When questioned driver A Cameron explained that when she urged the gelding it had clamped its tail giving her the impression that it was going to kick. Trainer M Purvis advised that it was his intention to give the gelding one more start with a more senior driver and if there was not a noticeable improvement, he would re-assess its racing future. A warning was placed on the gelding's barrier record.
Race 2   JOHN JONES STEEL & PAPANUI PARISH TROT
LISTEN EASY - broke at the start.
LUMINOSITY - fractious prior to the start and caused a lengthy delay. Underwent and passed a pre-race veterinary examination after becoming entangled in the sulky of LISTEN EASY. Broke at the start. Declared unruly for future standing starts.
MONO GAMBLE - fractious prior to the start. A warning was placed on the barrier record of the gelding. Trotted roughly and mixed its gait racing into the first bend checking trailing runners. The all clear was delayed while Stewards reviewed the films with driver T Williams and Trainer S Smolenski to determine whether the gelding had lost ground in a gallop on the first bend. Mr Williams advised that he felt his horse had retained its proper gait throughout this period albeit roughly. After considering his explanation Stewards were not comfortably satisfied that MONO GAMBLE had failed to lose ground when in a break and so took the matter no further.
SUPERFAST LAD - hampered by a breaking runner racing into the first bend and was forced to race wider on the track.
ALDEBARAN BELLE - a false start was declared due to ALDEBARAN BELLE swinging sideways prior to the start hampering SUPERFAST LAD. Fractious prior to the re-start. A warning was placed on the barrier record of the filly. Broke after 100 metres. Broke again near the 800 metres. Co-trainer C DeFilippi advised that it was his intention to return the filly to the trials prior to resuming.
