SUPPLEMENTARY REPORT

From Rockhampton, 7.4.20

Trainer L. Rowe reported that CHANAMARO pulled up with a bruise to the near fore fetlock, and the horse would now be leaving his stable. Mr Rowe was advised that a veterinary certificate would be required prior to any future race start.

Race 9: Stewards inquired into excessive use of the whip by jockey B. Richardson (Astral Knight). Jockey Richardson pleaded guilty to using her whip 8 times prior to the 100m (total 12) and was fined $200.
