Race 1 -3YO Maiden Plate - 1000m
Acting on a confirmed telephone call from Mr. E. Saines,
trainer of General's Reward, 3rd emergency, that he had not received
notification that the gelding had obtained a run today and had exercised the gelding and
was notified after 8.00am that he had gained a start and as in his opinion the gelding
would not perform to the best of his ability due to being exercised this morning. Acting
on this, the Stewards withdrew the gelding from the event at 8.31am. On jumping away Mr
Christopher shifted out and tightened Swift Mookta out onto Bronte and Toldo (NZ)
resulting in Toldo (NZ) losing ground. Throughout the event Mr Christopher hung out and
around the home turn continued to hang out hampering Swift Mookta forcing that gelding to
race wide. Mr G Mackenzie trainer of the gelding was notified that Mr. Christopher is
suspended from racing until the gelding trials to the satisfaction of the Stewards in a
trial. F. Alesci rider of Toldo (NZ) stated that after being hampered at the start the
gelding then got back in the field and in his opinion the gelding never felt comfortable
in its action throughout the event. A veterinary examination of Toldo (NZ) revealed no
apparent abnormality other than a laceration to the gelding's mouth.
