Race Comments

BLACKJACK ROAD - broke in the score up losing considerable ground and was out of position at the start. A warning was placed on the barrier record of the gelding. Weakened from the 500m.

Race 2   FINDATRUCKLOAD MOBILE PACE
SOUTHERN STARR - Driver K Tomlinson reported the mare had paced roughly rounding the bends.
ABULL - broke rounding the final bend.
HUKI FELLA - Trainer G Forbes was warned for failing to present this gelding in its allocated stall by the required time. Stewards questioned Driver M Hill regarding the tactics he adopted in the middle stages of the race when leading. Mr Hill explained that he had been instructed to lead if possible and only hand up to one of the more favoured runners. Mr Hill further added he did not think the pace in the race was abnormal. After considering Mr Hill's comments and viewing the films, the Stewards will speak with him in the coming days with a focus on education.
JOANIE MAGIC - Stewards questioned Driver J Douglas regarding the tactics he adopted in the middle stages of the race when racing outside the leader. Mr Douglas explained that near the 2000m when he pressed forward his intention was to take the lead however after an unsuccessful challenge for approximately 200m he then tried to restrain his mare but was unable to do so due to the horse beginning to over race, so he elected to remain racing in the parked position in an effort to get JOANIE MAGIC to relax. Mr Douglas further stated he would be recommending to connections that gear changes be made prior to the mare racing next. Stewards noted and accepted Mr Douglas' comments regarding this matter.
BETTER ROBYN - broke in the score up losing all chance. Stood down to complete one mobile trial to the satisfaction of Stewards prior to resuming.

STELLA PATRON - held up in the early stages of the run home.
Following the running of this race there was an incident when Drivers S O'Reilly and P Hunter were dislodged from their sulkies on returning to the stabling area.

CHICK MAGNET - fractious prior to the start and swung sideways before the tapes were released losing all chance. Following the race the All Clear was delayed whilst Stewards reviewed the footage of the start and spoke with Driver T Stratford after which CHICK MAGNET was declared a non-runner under Rule 213(1)(j) due to the horse being denied a fair start. A warning was placed on the barrier record of the gelding.
OUR GOLDEN KENNY - slow through the early stages.
AMBRO AMEIGO - broke shortly after the start losing all chance.

ESCOBAR - paced roughly in the score up. Raced wide early stages.

Blood tests were conducted on the gelding and Trainer N Williamson undertook to notify Stewards of any findings.
WHO'S BETTOR - had to be restrained near the 500m when placed in tight quarters by an inside runner. Held up for clear racing room throughout the run home.
FOVEAUX STRAIT - Stewards questioned driver R McIlwrick regarding the manner he drove near the 1200m when allowing ESCOBAR to take a position in front of him in the one out line. Mr McIlwrick explained that due to the early speed after the mile start his gelding was not pacing fluently racing into the bend and he was therefore reluctant to chase the horse up to hold its position. Stewards accepted Mr McIlwrick's explanation.
