Race Comments

The start was delayed when the field was turned out of line after several runners became fractious then HENRIK LUNDQVIST reared and got a sulky shaft over its rump.

SHARP IMAGE - broke entering the first turn hampering trailing runners and lost considerable ground. Broke again near the 900m losing all chance.
HENRIK LUNDQVIST - pre-race warmed. Fractious prior to the start. A warning was placed on the gelding's barrier manners. Slow early. Hampered by a breaking runner rounding the first turn. Over-raced middle stages.
HOT JESSIE - fractious prior to the start. Broke shortly after the start losing considerable ground. A warning was placed on the mare's barrier manners. Hampered by a breaking runner rounding the first turn. Broke near the 700m losing ground.

Race 2   HAPPY 42nd WED. ANNIV PAUL AND DEBRA NORTON MOBILE PACE
PROVISEUR - obtained an inside run leaving the back straight the final time.

RIVERBOY BEN - raced wide early. Briefly placed in restricted room rounding the final turn. Weakened in the run home.
COMMANDER LINCOLN - Driver A Sharpe admitted a charge under Rule 869(2) and the Whip and Rein Regulations in that he used his whip with more than a wrist flicking motion late in the run home. After viewing the replays and hearing submissions on penalty the Adjudicative Committee imposed a fine of $300.
MIDFREW LUCRE - pre-race warmed. Lay in rounding the final turn placing inside runners in restricted room briefly. Driver J Kriechbaumer was warned for using his whip with more than a wrist flicking motion late in the run home.
DESERT DAWN - briefly placed in restricted room rounding the final turn. Driver F Phelan was warned for the manner in which he attempted to shift ground early in the run home when not in a position to move an outside runner wider. DESERT DAWN then raced in restricted room before contacting the sulky wheel of COMMANDER LINCOLN passing the 100m and paced roughly for several strides. In considering this matter Stewards took in to account that there had been movement from both COMMANDER LINCOLN and MIDFREW LUCRE which contributed to this incident.
