Race 2: BUNYA CHALLENGE MAIDEN PLATE 1000m
 
REUBEN’S DECREE- Refused to proceed to the barrier, becoming fractious and dislodging App O Webb in the preliminary. The mare was subsequently declared a late scratching by Stewards at 1:27pm. All monies invested on the mare were ordered to be refunded with the following deductions applicable to all successful wagers placed prior to 1:27pm:
 
37 cents in the dollar for win bets
23 cents in the dollar on place bets
 
Trainer D Baker was advised the mare would be required to trial satisfactorily under race day conditions prior to again being permitted to start in a race. App Webb was uninjured in the incident.
 
 
CONLEY BELL- Difficult to load. Fractious in the barrier. Slow to begin. Inclined to race ungenerously throughout. Trainer K Afford was advised the filly would be required to obtain two further consecutive barrier certificates prior to again being permitted to start in a race.

RIVA’S ANGEL- Bumped with another runner on jumping.
 
FRIDAYS JET- Slow to begin. Awkwardly placed on heels soon after the start having to be eased momentarily. Inclined to race ungenerously for some distance leaving the 700m. Obliged to steady and shift in to avoid heels approaching the 100m when a runner to the outside shifted in when not fully clear.
 
TRUBOOM- Obliged to steady passing the 700m when a runner to the inside shifted out when not fully clear.

Race 4: THE DIEHARDS FOR 2022 QTIS BENCHMARK 50 HANDICAP(1) 1200m
 
Declaration of correct weight was delayed to allow Stewards to view patrol footage of the start. After determining that HEAT (App Z Sprie) had been afforded a fair start and it was the actions of the gelding, which reared as the start was effected, that resulted in App Sprie being dislodged and the gelding not taking part in the race correct weight was declared on the Judges numbers. Trainers A Simpson and D Urand were advised the gelding would be required to obtain a further barrier certificate prior to again being permitted to start in a race.
