Race 5: Canadian Club Ratings Band 0-70 H'cap – 1050m

Race 8: W WW. BRC. COM.AU Class 4 H'cap – 1200m

Correct weight was delayed to allow jockey T. Harrison and trainer Mrs H. Page to view the video footage of the start to ascertain whether PANTHERESS was afforded a fair start. After viewing the film, both parties did not wish to proceed as it was evident that the mare reared as the start was effected and lost significant ground. PANTHERESS took no competitive part in the race from the 600m. A post race veterinary examination revealed cardiac arrhythmia, and trainer Mrs H. Page will be advised that she must furnish the results of an ECG on PANTHERESS , and the horse must barrier trial satisfactorily prior to racing again.

BORIS BADENOV – Apprentice J. Orman was of the opinion his mount failed to handle the heavy track conditions.
