LEILA’S CALL – App N Summers was found guilty of a charge of careless riding under AR137(a) in that near the 300metres she made insufficient effort to prevent her mount shifting resulting in ROCKING CONNECTION being tightened and taken in crowding FOR ME ARGENTINA which in turn had to be checked. The riding licence of N Summers was suspended for a period of 9 days to commence midnight 11th June up to and including midnight 20th June 2016. In determining penalty stewards took into account her recent good riding record and personal circumstances.

TEXAN QUEEN – tightened for room and lost ground shortly after the start. Rider reported at scale the mare was not suited by the fast early pace and in his opinion would be better suited to races over a longer distance.

MISTER LOOSEEL – stewards permitted rider J King to ride the gelding 1.5kgs over its allocated weight when no other rider was available. J King was fined $100. Jumped away awkwardly resulting in the left foot of rider J King making heavy contact with outside barrier partition which placed him at a disadvantage for the remainder of the event.

J King was advised he would require a medical certificate before resuming riding.

MEDIA SAVVY – after being loaded in the barriers reared up, became cast then after breaking away from barrier staff jumped an outside rail and was eventually restrained in the stabling area. Subsequently declared a late scratching by order of stewards at 2:22pm and on declaration of correct weight all bets on MEDIA SAVVY were ordered to be refunded in full with deductions of 3 cents win and 4 cents place to apply to all winning bets. Trainer T Moloney was advised the gelding would require a further barrier certificate prior to its next race start. A post race Vet examination failed to reveal any abnormality.

Trainer R Hay confirmed CAMPONOLOGY is better suited ridden further back in the field, and concurred with the comments of G Geran. Stewards accepted the explanation of both parties.
