RACE ONE 3YO CLASS C HCP – 1OOO M

On return to scale G Browder, rider of BURNT PEAT notified Stewards that he believed he was denied a fair start.

After taking evidence the Stewards believed that BURNT PEAT attempted to rear as the gates were opening and the barrier attendant who was holding the fillies bridle released the bridle when BURNT PEAT attempted to jump away. BURNT PEAT was deemed not to have been denied a fair start and therefore a runner.

When the gates opened MY MATE BLUEY jumped in abruptly and hampered MANTIS.

RACE FOUR CLASS D HCP – 13OO M

Stewards questioned L Schmidt, rider of MR ILLUMINATOR which performed below expectations. L Schmidt stated that the gelding was unable to get up near the leaders early and during the middle stages he had an interrupted run when he attempted to go forward, which in his opinion did not suit MR ILLUMINATOR’s style of racing.

RACE FIVE CLASS 6 HCP – 12OO M

Near the 800 metres NORTHERN CAT, which rolled in touched the heels of CHARLIE which shifted out off the fence slightly. L Schmidt stated that he felt CHARLIE dip behind near the 800 metres and for that reason he did not ride the horse out in his normal manner in the straight.

RACE SIX CLASS 2 HCP – 1OOO M
