Race Comments

Race 1   J D SOUNESS LTD MOBILE TROT
SON OF MAJESTIC - weakened on the final bend. Trotted roughly in the run home with driver B McLellan reporting he did not release the removable deafeners as a consequence.
NIGHT WATCH - Stewards questioned driver B Williamson regarding his apparent lack of vigour over the final stages. Mr Williamson explained the filly was flat from the 700 metres, he had released the removable deafeners near the 550 metres and the horse had come to the end of its run once entering the final straight. Mr Williamson added he was reluctant to apply pressure to the filly due to it trotting roughly over the concluding stages in its previous start. Stewards accepted Mr Williamson's comments on this occasion however advised him to ensure he does not drive in future in a manner which leaves him open to query.
