Race 1: MAIDEN PLATE 1000 Metres

After all jockeys for this event had weighed out, Stewards located a piece of 500g lead near the gate leading from the weighing area to the race day tie-up stalls. After conducting gear checks of all runners before horses had entered the saddling enclosure, the saddle of HIGH RIDER was removed and re-weighed when Stewards determined the lead had accidently been displaced from the saddle pouch of that runner when being taken to the tie-up stalls. In taking no direction action against either Trainer T Hess or rider M Gray, both parties were nonetheless reminded of the ramifications of a horse weighing in light under AR143 and the subsequent penalties under AR175(k) as a result of this outcome.

After viewing the replay of the start and taking evidence from M Gray and starter Mr G Mooney, Stewards found that prior to the start being effected and when being held by an attendant, LUSHNESS reared and the bridle became detached. Acting under AR134A Stewards declared LUSHNESS a non-runner with all bets to be refunded with deductions of 13c win and 12c place to apply on all winning bets. Trainer D Rideout was advised LUSHNESS would require a further barrier certificate prior to its next race start.
