SUPPLEMENTARY REPORTS:


GENERAL

After arriving on course at approximately 12.30pm RAGE WITHIN, trained by Mr L. Wanless and engaged to start in race 3, was inspected by Steward Mr S Fletcher (QRIC IRU) who noted what appeared to be a small mark on the left side of the neck. After further inspection by Stewards and veterinarian Dr P Agnew, an Inquiry was opened. 



Stewards heard evidence from Dr P Agnew as to the possible reasons for the mark being present. Stable representative S. Gilman stated that he was unaware of any issue with the mare. Trainer L. Wanless when interviewed stated that the mare had not been treated within the preceding days, Stewards could not be satisfied that any breach of the Rules had taken place and therefore allowed the mare to take her place in Race 3. A pre-race urine sample was taken from RAGE WITHIN. The inquiry remains adjourned until sample is cleared.
