Race Comments

Race 1   OFF THE TRACK FOOD AND BEV TROT
BOSS JO - unable to hold the back of SUNNY ROBINSON near the 1200m which enabled TRAVELIN SOLDIER to shift out from the marker line to fill that position.
SUNNY ROBINSON - pre-race warmed.
KC'S PRINCESS - broke shortly after the start losing all chance. Broke again near the 1700m when trailing the field. A warning was placed on the mare's barrier manners.
Race 2   TACO THURSDAY AT THE CLUBHOUSE SPORTS BAR MOBILE PACE
MR WONDERFUL - broke near the 1850m losing all chance when racing to the inside of IRISH WHISPERS which lay in. Junior Driver D Grundmann (assisted by J Abernethy) was shown the replays and warned for the manner in which he drove in this incident when failing to concede his position.

IRISH WHISPERS - lay out in the early and middle stages of the run home when attempting to use the passing lane.

Co-Trainers R Green & N Delany were issued a $100 Minor Infringement Notice after a middle carrier came adrift during the running. A post-race veterinary examination, which included an endoscopic procedure, revealed an irregularity with the epiglottis which requires further investigation. Stewards will follow up with connections in the coming days.
