Race 1: Furnaces @ Aquis Farm QTIS 3yo HHcap - 1615m
ARRESTAR Trainer M. Dunn was fined $100 for failing to declare a rider for the horse by the prescribed time.
REAL PRINCESS Blundered soon after the start.
DIOMEDES Overraced for some distance passing the 1200m and had to be restrained from the heels of REEF KNOT.
BRAVO UNCLE BILLY Overraced in the early and middle stages.
REEF KNOT Apprentice T. Brooker was cautioned and advised at all times to ride her mounts out to the end of the race.
FUTURE EVENT When asked to explain the overall performance of the horse, jockey B. Stewart stated that, in his view, the gelding seemed to resent racing inside horses and as a result settled further back in the field than anticipated. He added that when placed under pressure soon after straightening the gelding proved disappointing in its finishing effort.
Race 2: The Bell Memorial BenchMark 80 H'cap 2200m
STANLEY When the pace steadied passing the winning post on the first occasion raced very ungenerously when being restrained.
LASCAR Stewards questioned jockey R. Fradd regarding the tactics adopted on the gelding, particularly the reason for him not taking a trail in the early stages behind QABLA.. Jockey Fradd explained that LASCAR is one-paced and he was instructed to ride the horse in a handy position and for this reason he thought it would be detrimental to the horsees chances to settle at the rear of the field. He added that he attempted to increase the pace in the back straight with a view to racing outside the leader, GOULDIAN, however LASCAR did not quicken and, in his view, was most disappointing today.. Trainer J. Meagher confirmed the instructions to settle the horse in a forward position if possible, and was also disappointed in todayys performance. The explanations were noted.
Race 3: Queensland Breeders Class 6 H'cap 1615m
MOONLIGHT DANCER When the pace was slow passing the 1400m commenced to overrace and shifted out and then became awkward at the heels of STANLEY.
SKILLFUL J. Byrne, rider EL CAMPEADOR, pleaded guilty to a charge of careless riding in that passing the 1300m he permitted his mount to shift in when not clear of SKILFUL, resulting in SKILFUL clipping the heels of EL CAMPEADOR and losing ground.. J. Byrne was suspended from riding in races for a period of 8 days, to commence at midnight, 13 August and to expire at midnight, 21 August.
EL CAMPEADOR Jockey J. Byrne was questioned regarding the tactics he adopted in leading on the horse today, which is in contrast to its normal racing pattern. He explained that he had no specific instructions and from the wide barrier and due to the lack of early speed in the race he was able to obtain the lead without overly pressuring the horse. Stewards noted his explanation.
Race 4: Stanton Mienert Accountants F&M BenchMark 75 H'cap 1350m
EXTRASAY Near the 300m had to be restrained from heels and obliged to alter course to the inside of SHORELINE.
STAR REFLECTION Inclined to lay in under pressure in the early stages of the home straight. When asked to explain the performance, jockey D. Browne stated that the mare travelled well, however failed to finish the race off as expected, which he attributed to the 59.5 kilogram impost on a firm surface.. A post race veterinary examination failed to reveal any significant abnormalities.
