Race Comments

Race 1   TAB - METRO PACERS HEAT 3 MOBILE PACE
ANOTHER COLLECT - hampered rounding the final turn. Driver B Purdon admitted a charge under Rule 869(2) and the Whip and Rein Regulations in that he used his whip free of the rein early in the run home. After viewing the replays and hearing penalty submissions the Adjudicative Committee imposed a fine of $300.
BRUNTWOOD BRIGADE - locked wheels with an inside runner passing the 400m losing ground.
SOCIAL DISTANCING - broke early in the score up but was in position at the candy pole. Over-raced middle stages. Lay out and paced roughly leaving the back straight the final time before locking wheels with an outside runner passing the 400m hampering a trailing runner and losing ground. A warning was placed on the gelding's racing manners. When questioned regarding the performance Driver T Herlihy confirmed that he encountered steering difficulties rounding the final turn but added that this runner had received every opportunity.
DAVE DULEY - Co-Trainers R & J Dunn were warned for the late notification of Driver P Ferguson.
Race 2   TAB - METRO TROTTERS HEAT 2 MOBILE TROT

Race 3   BIRD & BARROW FLYING MOBILE PACE
SUPERSCRIPT - paced roughly shortly after the start then again at various stages. Weakened from the 700m hampering trailing runners. A post-race veterinary examination revealed no abnormality. When questioned regarding the performance Co-Trainer G Hughes advised that the mare had over-raced early which had taken its toll and that he would be making a gear change prior to resuming.
