I AM IMPINGE – Stewards questioned jockey B. Shinn regarding his riding of the horse, particularly in the home straight.  Jockey Shinn explained that it was his intention to ride the horse  in a forward position, however after beginning only fairly he was unable to muster sufficient speed and as a result settled at the rear of the field. He added that he had to check off heels near the 500m and upon straightening he shifted the horse to the outside  and applied  hands and heels vigour and used his whip on one occasion and the horse shifted in and he had to correct it.  He conceded that  over the concluding stages he failed to ride his mount out with his normal vigour.  Stewards noted his explanation but nevertheless advised him to ensure at all times he rides his mounts out to the finish of the race.
 
CHAPTER AND VERSE – Jockey Jake Bayliss, rider of TROMMELSCHAGEN, pleaded guilty to a charge of careless riding, in that he permitted his mount to shift in near the 1200m when not clear of  HEARTS LIFTED, which was taken in on to CHAPTER AND VERSE, resulting in HEARTS LIFTED being hampered and CHAPTER AND VERSE being checked. Jockey Bayliss was suspended from riding in races for a period of 8 days to commence at midnight, 1 July and to expire at midnight, 9 July.
