RACE TWO MAIDEN HCP – 1OOO M

When the gates opened BYALAP stood flat footed and lost ground and then took some distance to muster speed.

On jumping away MYTH and SPECTOR came together.

M Osmond, rider of MYTH was fined $100 under AR137(b) for failing to rider his mount out to the winning post. The Stewards after considering the evidence were of the opinion that M Osmond actions in all likelihood cost MYTH fourth place.

G Clarke, rider of SPECTOR was given permission to ride that gelding 1kg overweight. G Clarke stated that he thought that he would be able to ride at 56.0kg today but was unable to get below 56.5kg. Stewards reprimanded G Clarke and notified him that if he was to be overweight in the future he may be penalised.
