General
Due to predicted sultry weather conditions this race meeting was conducted within the provisions of the Queensland Racing Integrity Commission Caring for Racing Animals in Extreme Heat Policy. 
 
Stewards intend to interview Jockey R. McMahon in relation to his non-attendance at today’s race meeting. Where possible replacement riders were engaged as per Race Day Summary.

IMA POCKET ROCKET - Prior to the declaration of correct weight Jockey J. Babarovich made application to  Stewards for the gelding, which had finished unplaced, to be declared a non-runner on the grounds that it had been denied a fair start in that an attendant who was holding the horse’s head did not release the bridle until after the start had been effected. After taking statements from the Starter, barrier attendant and Jockey Babarovich and viewing the available footage Stewards were of the opinion that IMA POCKET ROCKET had been denied a fair start and the gelding  was declared a non-runner under the provisions of AR 134A. Stewards ordered that all monies invested on IMA POCKET ROCKET be refunded in full and further, that all successful bets for the win be paid less six cents in the dollar on the face value of the betting ticket and that all successful place bets be paid less eight cents in the dollar on the face value of the betting ticket.
