SUPPLEMENTARY REPORT:
 
CAIRNS SATURDAY 27.08.2022 Race 8 RED BERET HOTEL CAIRNS CUP 2100 Metres

LOUIS JANUARY – Trainer J. Wehlow advised stewards that following the gelding’s poor performance, further veterinary examinations and blood tests had been conducted which revealed no concerns and that LOUIS JANUARY had pleased him in the past week following the run. Mr Wehlow further advised that whilst he was at a loss to explain the poor performance he would continue with the gelding’s current preparation.

The following riders were permitted to ride overweight:
Race 1 – S. Pawsey (Cody’s Boy) + .50kg
Race 3 – J. Baker (Enuff Roses) + 1kg
Race 5 – S. Pawsey (Roshan) + 1kg
 
Race 1: MAREEBA MAZDA QTIS MAIDEN PLATE– 900 Metres
 
CODY’S BOY – Delayed the start when proved difficult to load. Slow to begin.
 
MISS BOSSY – Delayed the start further when fractious in the barriers prior to the start causing its front barrier gates to open.
 
VANCOUVER LIGHTS – Slow to begin. A post-race veterinary examination revealed the gelding to have pulled up in a distressed state. After being quickly attended to by the veterinary surgeon VANCOUVER LIGHTS responded well to treatment.    
 
DREAM LUV – Raced three wide without cover for the majority of the race.
 
TEMPS DU LOUVRE – A post-race veterinary examination revealed the filly to have bled from both nostrils. As this is the second occasion on which TEMPS DU LOUVRE has bled, it will now incur a lifetime ban from racing. AR79(6)
 
Race 2: 2022 PRESIDENT'S BENCHMARK 45 HANDICAP – 1123 Metres
 
Following the running of this race stewards delayed correct weight to determine if all runners had been afforded a fair start and if the starter had officially started the race. After hearing evidence from riders, trainers and the starter Mr B. Brady, it was established that the starter did not start the race and the barriers opened prematurely resulting in a number of runners being disadvantaged. Acting under the provisions of AR205 the race was declared void and all monies invested on the race were ordered to be refunded. As a result of this incident jockey S. Wilson (SAINT NO MORE) was dislodged and transported to Mareeba hospital for further observation after sustaining an injury to his left ankle. Apprentice jockey R. Shred struck her head on the upper barrier petition when her mount (LET’S CONQUER) reared as the start was effected. Ms Shred was also transported to Mareeba hospital for further observation Riding replacements were made as per steward’s summary.
 
A post-race veterinary examination of LET’S CONQUER revealed the gelding to be in a distressed state. After being quickly attended to by the veterinary surgeon the gelding responded well to treatment.
 
All following races were manually started and tested prior to the start.
