Race 2: Schweppes TL Cooney QTIS 3yo H'cap – 1350m

DEE NINE ELLE – After being boxed, lunged forward and broke through the front gates. The horse returned to the barriers, was examined by the veterinary surgeon and cleared to start.

RELAMPAGO – Began awkwardly.

MADAME DE BAN – Steadied near the 1200m.

LOST CLASSIC – Steadied near the 1000m when crowded for room between DON'T DENY US and SALMANAZAR, which shifted out. J. Byrne, ride off SALMANZAR, was severely reprimanded.

DEE NINE ELLE – Jockey T. Harrison dropped her whip inside the 100m. Laid in under pressure in the straight.

DON'T DENY US – A post race veterinary examination revealed a slow than normal recovery rate.

SALMANAZAR – Jockey J. Byrne was questioned regarding the tactics adopted in the middle stages. He stated he was mindful of today's track conditions he endeavoured to race away from the fence. He added that after the 1000m he raced in restricted room inside ALWAYS SACRED. He added once ALWAYS SACRED crossed him he was then happy to shift from behind that horse and allow his mount to stride forward and race 3 wide from the 700m. Jockey Byrne was of the view that regardless of these tactics adopted it did not have any bearing on the horse's finishing position.

IN HIS STRIDE – Connections advised that the improved performance today was mainly attributable to the significant drop in class of today's event.



Race 3: Sirromet Bundamba Plate QTIS 2yo H'cap – 1100m

Correct weight was delayed to allow connections of the 2nd placegetter, Happy Event, to view the official photo finish print in the Judge's box before determining there was a clear margin, after which stewards then declared correct weight.

YANKEE EXPRESS – Badly hampered at the start.

ALASSAK – Bumped heavily on the hind quarters at the start.

AMEXED – Jockey R. Fradd was fined $400 for using his whip more than 5 times prior to the 100m.

ALL CLEAR – Severely hampered and carried 4 wide by KOBI CREEK, which shifted out. Apprentice J. Orman, rider of KOBI CREEK, was found guilty of a charge of careless riding in that after the 1200m he shifted his mount away from the rail and in doing so made contact with ALL CLEAR, resulting in that horse being carried wider, which allowed KOBI CREEK to then stride forward and improve its position. J. Orman was suspended from riding in races for a period of 11 days, to commence at midnight, 25 June, and to expire at midnight, 6 July.

COASTAL GEM – Inconvenienced near the 1200m.

The horse raced behind the leaders. When questioned regarding the improved performance trainer Mr P. Robl stated that its first up run in May at Scone the gelding only weakened over the concluding stages and did not handle the heavy track conditions at Rosehill at its previous start. He added that the addition of blinkers and the class of today's race contributed to the improved performance.
