SUPPLEMENTARY REPORT
 
Stewards concluded an inquiry into Jockey P Randall’s whip use in Race 4 at Noorama on 2nd April 2022.

RACE 1 BROWN & HURLEY’S KOKODA MAIDEN PLATE 1000m
 
Prior to the declaration of correct weight, it was noted on the steward’s patrol footage that the barriers of ORDERS, EPIC REIGN and FOXY BEEZA were slow to open. Noting that EPIC REIGN and ORDERS placed 2nd and 3rd respectively in the event, there were no grounds upon which stewards could declare either starter a non-runner. FOXY BEEZA, 6th place, was declared a non-runner under AR 204. Deductions were 9 cents win, 13 cents place. The barriers were tested before race two (2). Following the declaration of correct weight maintenance was performed on the barriers and an inspection carried out by Stewards with a delegation of Senior Riders which deemed the starting gates to be operating adequately.
