SUPPLEMENTARY
 
Prior to the first race App S. Lacy, who was indisposed at the Sunshine Coast meeting on Friday 13 October 2017, was examined by the Clubbs Doctor and cleared to fulfil her riding engagements today.
 
Race 1: Lifestyle Holdings Australia QTIS 2YO Handicap 1050m
 
DANCING DIVA - Cast a near hind plate in the enclosure which required farrier attention.
 
MISHANI PHANTOM Proved difficult to load. Trainer K. Schweida was advised that a warning would be placed on the colts barrier manners.

SOARING HEART Slow to begin.
 
BALERION Slow to begin. Raced very greenly when racing wide without cover throughout.
 
PERFECT AIM Restrained in the early stages to gain a position close to the rail. Jockey R. Fradd dropped his whip near the 400m.
 
ACCEPTITA Passing the 600m when racing greenly had to be restrained from the heels of SAPPHIRE GIFT.

Race 2: Cleanstate Commercial Cleaning QTIS 3YO Handicap 1600m

STELLAS DREAM Raced 3 wide in the early stages before being ridden forward to obtain the position outside the leader near the 1100m.
 
MAHARNI Passing the 1200m commenced to race very fiercely at the heels of ZOFONIC DANCER and shifted out.
 
MISHANI BULLITT Stewards questioned App S. Lacy regarding the tactics she adopted, particularly from the 1200m, when she left a trailing position behind NIVO to improve 3 wide.. App Lacy stated that she was able to settle her mount in a trailing position behind NIVO approaching the first turn however, when the pace steadied MISHANI BULLITT commenced to overrace and became very awkward at the heels of NIVO and this resulted in her having to shift to a 3 wide position. App Lacy added she was prevented from moving back to a trailing position as MAHARNI, when overracing, shifted out and as a result she had to improve around the field to eventually clear STELLAS DREAM passing the 600m. Trainer C. Anderson advised that he had instructed App Lacy to race in a handy position with cover if possible and immediately following the race expressed his disappointment that App Lacy was unable to maintain a trailing position behind NIVO after passing the 1200m. The explanations of both parties were noted.

As L. Dittman was stood down by the Clubbs Doctor following his ride in Race 4 stewards permitted R. Fradd to be substituted as the rider of SEDUCTIVE DREAM.
 
Stewards considered an objection lodged by Mr T. Sears the trainer of 2nd placegetter HOT GOSSIP against NOW YOU SEE (App M. Murphy) being declared the winner on the grounds of alleged interference near the 350m. After viewing the official patrol footage and taking evidence from all parties stewards were of the view that HOT GOSSIP had not obtained clear running between RISING STOCK and NOW YOU SEE and had to be steadied as a result of being disappointed for a run. Stewards therefore dismissed the objection. At a subsequent inquiry Mr Sears was fined $300 for lodging a frivolous objection.
 
JETSONIC Slow to begin. Checked near the 950m. Jockey J. Byrne reported at scale his mount hung out throughout the event. Connections were advised that the gelding must trial satisfactorily prior to its next start.

NILETTE Checked near the 950m. Raced 3 wide without cover throughout. When asked to comment on the performance jockey J. Orman explained the mare never travelled comfortably and was disappointing in its finishing effort.
 
SEDUCTIVE DREAM Raced 3 wide throughout.
 
App M. Murphy the rider of NOW YOU SEE was found guilty of a charge of careless riding under AR137(a) in that passing the 1000m he contributed to interference by permitting his mount to shift in when not sufficiently clear of HOT GOSSIP, resulting in that runner being tightened and taken in onto MISHANI WRANGLER and as a result that runner was forced in and severely crowded ONE MANSINI. App Murphys licence to ride in races was suspended for a period of ten (10) days to commence midnight 23 October 2017 and expire midnight 2 November 2017. In assessing penalty stewards took into account App Murphys good racing record.
 
App S. Lacy (RISING STOCK) was also issued with a charge of careless riding in that near the 950m she contributed to interference by permitting her mount to shift in when not clear of NOW YOU SEE, which was taken in onto HOT GOSSIP, which was tightened and taken in onto MISHANI WRANGLERand as a result that runner was forced in across the rightful running of ONE MANSINI, which was severely checked. The matter was adjourned to allow App Lacy to obtain representation.
