Race 1: CLASS B HDCP 800 Metres
 
After arriving behind the barriers stewards directed all horses to be returned to the saddling enclosure as medical attention was required to attend App C Miles (SAYKRID LADY) who had been injured after being dislodged in the saddling enclosure. As a replacement ambulance was required this event ran approx. 35 minutes late.
 
As a result of this delay, the following race start times were amended:
Race 2: 2:35pm; Race 3: 3:05pm; Race 4:3:35pm and Race 5:4:05pm
 
ANXPENSE – jumped in at the start hampering runners to the inside.
 
KARMA FORCE – laid in under pressure over final 150 metres placing its rider at a disadvantage.
 
 SECOND HAND LION – raced wide for majority of the event. Rider L McCoy reported at scale the gelding was inclined to hang in at various stages of the event.
 
COALBANK CAVIAR – began awkwardly, raced wide and had a tendency to hang in for majority of the event. Lost near hind plate in running.
 
POETIC DRAGON – made contact with saddling enclosure gate moving onto the track, examined by Club Vet behind barriers and cleared to start.
 
EVERINGHAM – bumped at the start and lost ground.
 
SAYKRID LADY – fractious in saddling enclosure, reared and flipped over, subsequently declared a late scratching on Vets advice at 1:26pm. Prior to declaration of correct weight stewards ordered all bets on SAYKRID LADY be refunded in full with deductions of 6 cents win and 7 cents place face value on all winning bets prior to 1:26pm to apply. SP’s are not subject to deductions. App C Miles, who was injured in this incident, was treated on course before being transported to Kingaroy hospital. App Miles will require a medical clearance before resuming race riding. Trainer J Curtain was advised a warning would be placed on the pre-race manners of SAYKRID LADY.
