Gillard, B. Connell Clerk of Scales – A. Warry Judge – S. Bryant Veterinarian – Dr B. PullenSwab Attendant – N.Paull Starter – Mr P. ConwayBetting Supervisor –Stewards General As N. Summers was unable to attend today’s race meeting due to extreme bushfire conditions, replacements were made as per the Stewards Race Day Summary. Race 1: Seven Mackay Maiden H’cap – 1300m ART NOUVEAU - As Jockey D. Evans was a late arrival on course due to personal reasons he was replaced by C McIvor as the rider of the gelding. THE DECKERAIDER – Crowded between runners soon after jumping. TWISTED SUCCESS – Crowded between runners soon after the start. SALLY’S SPIRIT – Crowded between runners soon after the start. CRISTOVAO – Raced ungenerously for some distance passing the 1000m. Raced wide for the majority. TWISTED SUCCESS – Raced greenly throughout. A warning was issued to the connections regarding its racing manners. DRUMEOUS – Raced wide for the majority of the race. JUST UNREEL – Raced wide for the majority of the race. POPIGAI – Raced wide in the early and middle stages. Jockey N. Nelson pleaded guilty to a charge of careless riding under AR137(a) in that near the 1000m she permitted her mount, SALLY’S SPIRIT, to shift out on to the running of THE DECKERAIDER when insufficiently clear to do so, resulting in that runner being checked and losing ground. In considering this matter, stewards were mindful that there was a clear option for Miss Nelson to shift inwards at that point without detriment to any other runner. Stewards also took into account the racing manners of TWISTED SUCCESS, which was racing forward of the other 2 runners at this point, but considered that this had no bearing on this particular incident. Jockey N. Nelson’s licence to ride in races was suspended for a period of 8 days, to commence at midnight, 1 December, and to expire at midnight, 9 December. In assessing penalty, stewards took into account Miss Nelson’s very good record in relation to this rule and her plea of guilty.

FRIENDLY DRAGON – When questioned into the disappointing performance of the gelding, jockey J. Stanley advised that, in his opinion, the horse had raced flat today, and that the heavy impost and firm track conditions also had a bearing on the performance. Trainer J. McConachy advised that, in his opinion, the horse had come to the end of its preparation and would be turned out for an immediate spell. A post race veterinary examination revealed no abnormalities.
