Race Comments

Race 1   XMAS PACKAGES ON SALE NOW @CAMBRIDGE RACEWAY HCAP TROT
KC'S PRINCESS - broke shortly after the start losing considerable ground. A warning was placed on the barrier record of the mare. Authorisation of the promoted 4th placing was withheld until Stewards were satisfied KC'S PRINCESS had complied with the Breaking Horses Regulation.

Stewards lodged a protest against this runner's 4th placing under Rule 870(3) and the Breaking Horses Regulation in that the gelding broke for more than 50m inside the final 200m.
