by Stewards that a warning had been placed on the gelding in relation to its barrier
manners.
In the vicinity of the 700 metres
MARRY’S PRIDE (J. Julian) had to ease, owing to GO EMMA (R. Faehr) shifting in under

obligations when shifting ground.

OUR ENTOURAGE (J. Dertilis) reared
at the start and lost some ground.
Stewards questioned K. Post, rider of the 2nd
Placegetter CHECKAROO, into his riding of the gelding over the concluding stages of the
race. K. Post stated that he placed the horse under whip riding until the final 100 metres
of the race. At that point CHECKAROO shifted in and on straightening his mount he
continued to ride hands and heels until the 50 metres, when he resorted to riding with the
whip for the remainder of the race. K. Post was advised by Stewards to ride in a manner in
future that cannot be questioned by Stewards. |
