RACE ONE CLASS D HCP – 1OOO M

When the gates opened HOKAIDO was slow away and JOVIAL TRYST was slow into stride.

Racing past the 800 metres DELIRIUM had a tendency to lay out onto the heels of RED CENTRE RACER. Near the 650 metres RED CENTRE RACER had to be eased over the heels of HASTY RHYTHM (S Brownbill (a)) which shifted in. As a result DELIRIUM, which was following, had to be eased. S Brownbill (a) was reprimanded and notified that in future he must ensure he is 2 lengths clear of other runners prior to shifting ground.

In the straight RED CENTRE RACER had a tendency to lay in behind HASTY RHYTHM which prevented D Bates riding RED CENTRE RACER out to the best of his ability.

RACE SIX CLASS 1 HCP – 13OO M

Near the 500 metres WICKED LOVE was held up for a clear run behind JAYASHARI.

Near the 400 metres ADIAN WAY had to be eased off the heels of JAYASHARI which shifted in abruptly.

Subsequent to the event the Club’s Veterinary Surgeon inspected JAYASHARI, which performed poorly. He reported that the filly had a laceration below it’s eye, which bled during the race, and as a result it had blood in its eye, mouth and nostrils. He further stated that he believed that the blood in its eye, mouth and nostril could have effected its performance.

Stewards questioned D Bates, rider of JAYASHARI, about the laceration to its eye. D Bates stated that the filly struck its head in the gates and that prior to jumping away there was no sign of any blood.
