Race Comments

Race 1   GARRARDS HORSE & HOUND PUKEKOHE HANDICAP TROT
MUMS JEWEL - broke near the 400 metres losing all chance.
B K MERLOT - co-trainers C & T Jamieson were issued with a warning for the late notification of gear. Broke at the start losing ground before settling and then lost contact with the body of the field.
ALANA - reluctant to address the barrier strands and was back from position when the start was effected. A warning was placed on the mare's barrier record. Slow in the early stages and was a distant last throughout. Driver L Chin advised that the runner hadn't travelled well at any stage of the race.
SALVO - weakened in the run home. When questioned regarding the performance caretaker co-trainer S McMullan advised that the mare's condition had given out in the run home and he expected the horse to derive improvement from the race. A post-race veterinary examination revealed no abnormalities.
Race 2   THE ALEX BAR & EATERY MOBILE PACE
BETTERTHANDIVA - paced roughly shortly after the start. Lay inwards passing the 800 metres dislodging track markers. Held up rounding the final bend.
HOLYROOD - unable to hold the leaders back near the 1000 metres which enabled LIEUTENANT ARDEN to shift down to fill that position.
NEYMAR - raced wide early before being restrained to the rear. Broke inside the final 50 metres. Stewards lodged a Protest against 3rd placing being awarded alleging the gelding was lapped on by the 4th placed HOLYROOD. After viewing the replays and hearing from Stewards the Adjudicative Committee relegated NEYMAR to 4th placing.

FRANKIE J HOLDEN - trainer D Balle was issued with a warning for the late notification that the gelding will be racing without Blinds. Weakened in the run home.
