Race Comments

Race 1   HYDROFLOW AMATEUR DRIVERS MOBILE PACE
PLAY BY EAR - paced roughly for several strides near the 750 metres after driver J Buckland-Stevens released the deafeners and then allowed her runner to make contact with the sulky wheel of ALEXY. Mrs Buckland-Stevens was cautioned for her lack of control. Raced roughly throughout the run home.
JENABELLA - raced roughly in the early stages and had to be steadied losing ground. Raced roughly near the 400 metres when improving wider on the track.
FLAME LADY - crowded in the early stages by an outside runner with the mare having to race over the pylons for a short distance.
CAESAR'S QUEST - driver G Cook was reprimanded for the manner in which he shifted ground inwards in the early stages causing FLAME LADY to be placed into restricted room and contact track markers. Weakened near the 400 metres.
SONIC REIGN - out of position at the start. Driver N Munro was issued with a warning.
Race 2   BOOK AN EVENT AT ADDINGTON & BE IN TO WIN TROT
TIME IN A BOTTLE - lost momentum for a distance near the 1000 metres. Held up final bend by a weakening runner. A post-race veterinary examination revealed no abnormalities.
SHPEEDY - gave ground passing the 500 metres. A post-race veterinary examination showed no obvious abnormalities. Stewards will follow up with the connections in the coming days.
GOTTA TICKET - switched to a pace after being shifted wider passing the 1000 metres losing its chance.
RED HARBOUR - broke at the start.
TEQUILA SUNSET - broke shortly after the start.
MICKEY JAY - broke racing into the first bend near the 2350 metres losing its chance. A warning was placed on the gelding's racing record.
ARDEE TROUBLE - fractious behind the barriers.
Trainer J Thomas advised Stewards on 16 July that SHPEEDY has recovered in good fashion following its disappointing run at Addington last week where it was forced to do some work and over raced in the running. Mr Thomas added that where possible the mare will be driven with a sit in its upcoming engagements.
Race 3   HRS CONSTRUCTION MOBILE PACE
MAGICOL IDEAL - raced keenly when driver S O'Reilly restrained to surrender the lead between the 1400 metres and the 1200 metres.
Held up briefly on the home turn.
MAGICAL MATTY - raced keenly when being restrained to take up a position against the pylons in the early stages after making an unsuccessful attempt for the front.
DONEGAL GILBERT - paced roughly after the start.
FRANK THE TANK - Stewards spoke to driver C DeFilippi regarding an incident with a round to go when he moved from the parked position to the lead causing MAGICOL IDEAL to have to be restrained. After hearing from Mr DeFilippi he was reminded of his obligations to ensure he was fully clear of a runner when shifting inwards. When questioned regarding the performance, Mr DeFilippi advised he had to work hard to get from the parked position to the lead at the 1400 metres which had affected the horse's ability to finish the race off strongly.
Race 4   STORER MOTORS JUNIOR DRIVERS PACE
ANNA BARCLAY - slow to begin. Raced very roughly passing the 1600 metres. Broke passing the 1200 metres losing its chance. A post-race veterinary examination revealed no abnormalities other than a minor laceration to the right front heel bulb when the mare had over-reached. Stewards will follow up with trainer M House in the coming days.
VINTAGE BEACH - when questioned regarding the performance, driver K Tomlinson could not offer any explanation for the disappointing run. Stewards will speak with the connections in the coming days.
RAZCAL ALLEY - broke at the start.
GLACIER COASTER - broke at the start.
STEALTH BOMBA - broke at the start. Will now be drawn unruly from standing starts.
GO DAVEY - weakened over the final stages. When spoken to regarding the performance, driver S Tomlinson could offer no explanation and was disappointed with the performance.
Trainer M House advised Stewards on 14 July that ANNA BARCLAY has been retired from racing.
Co-Trainer M Robertson advised Stewards on 16 July that in his opinion VINTAGE BEACH did not back up last Sunday in its 3rd run in consecutive weeks and as a result the gelding is being given a brief freshen up.
Race 5   DOMINION TRADING COMPANY TROT
HONEYS SON - trotted roughly throughout the run home and could not be pressured by driver S Tomlinson.

KOWHAI SUNDOWN - broke racing into the first bend. Again broke passing the 1400 metres losing its chance.
Race 6   ALLIED SECURITY 2YO MOBILE TROT
EUROKASH - Stewards questioned driver B Hope regarding the manner in which he drove between the 100 metres and the 50 metres where he was viewed not to place his runner under any significant pressure. Mr Hope explained that immediately prior to this portion of the race he had been left very disappointed with the colts performance. He said that he had expected to win the race however his runner had proved lethargic throughout and failed to respond to his urgings. Mr Hope added that he had been easily headed by FRANCO JORIK near the 100 metres and expected to be easily beaten out of 4th place but that horse had eased after going past him and so he attempted to encourage his horse but in his opinion it had not responded. Mr Hope also explained the horse was excreting nasal discharge following the race and the stable intended to have a course of treatment commenced for an obvious illness. After considering the matter Mr Hope was reminded not to leave any room for question in the manner in which he drives. A post race veterinary examination showed the horse to be displaying the early signs of a respiratory infection.
ROYAL DEL - broke shortly after the start. A warning was placed on the gelding's barrier record.
LA REINA DEL SUR - switched to a pace at the 1250 metres losing its chance.
FRANCO JORIK - trotted awkwardly for a stride near the 1000 metres.
SUMMER LOVIN - broke shortly after the start. Broke again near the 400 metres.
LOVE N THE PORT - ran outwards throughout the final straight despite the efforts of driver M Williamson to maintain a straight line. Broke over the final stages.
CROWN RANGE - weakened at the 600 metres.
Co-Trainer G Hope advised Stewards on 14 July that a scope taken from EUROKASH has revealed a respiratory infection with the colt suffering from congestion.
Race 7   FAHEY FENCE HIRE REGIONAL RACING SERIES MOBILE PACE
IVANA LEGACY - paced roughly for a stride near the 100 metres. Stumbled and fell shortly after crossing the finishing line. Driver G Smith was unharmed. A veterinary examination showed multiple abrasions to the mare's right hind leg. Stood down pending a veterinary clearance.
HES FAST AND FURIOUS - weakened on the final bend after having raced parked for the majority of the race.
Stable representative A Armour advised that on 26th August that IVANA LEGACY had her hocks injected.

Race 9   BLUE STAR TAXIS MOBILE PACE
STAVROS THE TERROR - raced greenly through the middle stages. Briefly held up on the final bend.
LUELLA - when spoken to regarding the filly's performance, driver B Hope could only advise he had been disappointed with the performance. A post-race veterinary examination revealed no apparent abnormalities. Mr Hope was advised that it was expected he make a better effort to ensure his horse does not contact the runner in front which it had done so through the back straight on the final occasion.
REGATTA - paced roughly on the final bend when weakening.
MORDECAI - raced parked in the early and middle stages.
I AM ADALINE - driver J Cox was spoken to advisedly for the manner in which he attempted to deter the following LUELLA from making contact with his helmet through the back straight on the final occasion.
