SUPPLEMENTARY REPORT

From Gold Coast 23.5.15 – Race 1: When questioned as to the disappointing performance, trainer T. Green agreed with the comments of jockey Spinks on the day that MO’S TAVERN did not travel comfortably throughout and proved disappointing. Mrs Green was of the view that the horse failed to handle the track conditions and added that it had pulled up well following the race.

Race 1: QUEENSLAND COUNTRY LIFE CLASS 3 PLATE – 1400M

UNION – R. Fradd reported to stewards that the gelding commenced to race keenly approaching the 800m so he elected to shift out and as a result raced three wide for the remainder of the event.

TOWKASH – Slow to begin.

Race 2: HEATHFIELD QUEENSLAND RATINGS BAND 0-65 H'CAP – 1400M

CHEATIN’ CHARLIE – Began awkwardly.

ISADJOURNED – Slow to begin.

Race 3: UBET MAIDEN H'CAP – 1400M

Stewards accepted the explanation tendered by L. Dittman for his failure to fulfil his engagement on ROYAL EVENT. Stewards permitted C. Small to replace L. Dittman as the rider of that gelding.

METEORIC MOMENT – Shifted in at the start and bumped another runner. Raced wide throughout. Had to be steadied near the 400m and shift out to avoid the heels of the tiring KEEP THE RHYTHM. Inclined to lay in under pressure over the final 100m.

FLINDERS DRAGON – Bumped at the start.

GUN METAL GEORGE – A post-race veterinary examination of the colt, which compounded in the home straight, revealed no abnormalities. Stewards advised trainer T. Green that the colt would have to trial satisfactorily before being permitted to race again. Mrs Green added that she would experiment with the addition of blinker’s to the horse’s gear at its next start.

KEEP THE RHYTHM – Bled both nostrils. Ineligible to race for 3 months and before starting again must perform satisfactorily in a 1000m gallop in the presence of a steward.

SNAPPY RULER – Stood flat-footed at the start and lost considerable ground. Trainer L. Richardson was advised that a warning will be placed against the filly’s barrier manners. Mr Richardson informed stewards that it is his intention to retire the filly from racing.

ISACCUSED – Slow to begin.

MY COUSIN MELANIE – Inconvenienced near the 50m.

CARRY FORWARD – Slow to begin. Held up approaching the home turn.

ALL EYES ON ME – Slow to begin. Inconvenienced behind the tiring KEEP THE RHYTHM on entering the home straight.

Race 4: DIEC ENVIRONMENTAL SOLUTIONS CLASS 5 H'CAP – 1050M

MY BLING – Stewards afforded jockey D. Griffin the opportunity to comment on the performance. He stated that the mare failed to muster any early sped and as a result settled towards the rear of the field and finished the race off only fairly. He added that in his opinion the mare is better suited on rain-affected surfaces. Stewards noted his explanation.

Race 5: RJ BURDETT QTIS 2YO MAIDEN PLATE – 1300M

GOD’S LAW – Began awkwardly and lost ground, tailed the field and failed to take a competitive part in the event. Rider N. Day stated that his mount was disappointing and he was of the belief that the stable intended to geld the colt and send it for an immediate spell. Stewards advised that the colt would be required to officially trial to stewards’ satisfaction prior to its next start. A post-race veterinary examination revealed no abnormalities.

IT’S VEGAS BABY – Connections advised that it would be the intention to have the horse ridden in a forward position if circumstances permit. The horse was ridden accordingly.
