SAN BERNARDINO – Began awkwardly and shifted in.
 
LITTLE NATURAL – Tightened between runners on jumping and lost ground. Apprentice N. Massuda was reprimanded under AR131(a) in that he was careless in permitting his mount to shift out considerably over the final 200m, forcing ICE ELITE wider and causing it to be inconvenienced.

THE PONY – Raced 3 wide for the majority of the race.  A post race veterinary examination determined that the mare had  bled from both nostrils. Connections were advised that it would be stood down from racing for a period of 3 months and would  be required work over  1000m in the presence of a steward prior to returning to racing.

BOOTS ’N’ ALL – Overraced in the early and middle stages.
 
WHOSTOPPEDTHERAIN – Momentarily tightened rounding the home  turn.
 
TRAVANTI – Raced 3 wide for the majority of the race. When asked to comment on the gelding’s below market performance, jockey R. Wiggins stated he was satisfied with his position in running and elected to improve forward due the moderate tempo in the middle stages. He also added that the  gelding felt one-paced and, in his opinion, would be looking for distances further  than that of today’s event.  A post race veterinary examination failed to detect any apparent abnormalities.
 
 
Race 3: QCWA Class 1 H’cap – 1400m
 
AMUTHON – As jockey J. Watkins was to be overweight, jockey N. Thomas was substituted as the rider of the horse. Jockey Watkins was fined the sum of $100.

MANHATTAN GAMBLER – Stewards questioned trainer A. Willick regarding the seemingly improved performance of the gelding in today’s event.  Trainer A. Willick stated that she had only had the gelding in her care for 2 months.  She also added that it had continued to improve in itself since entering the stable, and further stated at its most recent start at Murwillumbah the gelding knuckled on jumping and received some tightening  in the event,  and was advised by is rider to consider stepping the gelding up in distance.  Stewards noted the explanation.
 
Following this  race the track rating was reassessed as Good 4.
 
Race 5: Rapid Relief Team F&M Benchmark 58 H’cap – 1200m
 
ROSELLA GIRL – Trainer M. Eggleston was fined $100 for failing to declare a rider for the horse by the prescribed time.
 
On return to scale a protest was lodged by Jockey O. Pickering, rider of  4th placegetter Rosella Girl,  against  SHINSTAR being declared the winner, alleging interference over the final 200m.  After taking evidence from the parties concerned and viewing the patrol video, stewards, in dismissing the protest, were mindful that whilst interference had occurred and jockey Pickering had to check her mount near the 100m mark and considering the beaten margin of 1¾ lengths, stewards could not be completely satisfied to uphold the protest and declared correct weight on the Judge’s placings.
 
At a subsequent inquiry, jockey J. Watkins, rider of SHINSTAR, when leading the event permitted his mount to shift in over the final 200m and then  nearing the 150m continued to do so when jockey O. Pickering, rider of ROSELLA GIRL, had established a run to his inside and continued to shift in to a point near the 100m where jockey jockey Pickering was obliged to check her mount and lost ground.   Jockey Watkins pleaded guilty to a charge of careless riding and his license to ride in races was suspended  for a period of 11 days, to commence at midnight, 6 November and to expire at midnight, 17 November.  Stewards when considering penalty took into account jockey Watkins’ guilty plea and good record.
 
 
 
ROSELLA GIRL – Began awkwardly and shifted out, causing MAC’S GAL to be tightened and lose ground.
 
MISS AMANDA – On jumping was hampered and bumped on the hind quarters by MAC’S GAL, which was forced out.  Steadied from the heels of SHINSTAR near the 1000m when hampered for racing room.  Jockey J. Watkins was advised to exercise greater care in similar circumstances when crossing,
