HE KNOWS – Began awkwardly and lost ground. Raced wide throughout. Performed below market expectations.

SIR SLEW - Dislodged its rider during the preliminary and was riderless for a short distance before being re-captured. Underwent a pre-race veterinary examination and was passed suitable to start. Bumped on jumping. Passing the 400m improved onto the heels of the weakening DEVIL and had to be checked. Lost its off fore plate in running. Stewards interviewed  apprentice M Castle regarding her riding in the early part of the home straight in particular where it appeared that she persisted with a run behind DEVIL, when it may have been more beneficial to her mounts chances to shift to wider to a one off the rail position to trail QUACKERY. After viewing the patrol footage, Apprentice M Castle accepted that she may have erred at this point in the race, in not shifting wider to trail QUACKERY. After considering the relative inexperience of apprentice M Castle, stewards elected to take the matter no further.

Race 5: BCF COUNTRY HEIST BM58 Handicap 1200 metres

ROTHABYE – In the early part of the home straight was inconvenienced whilst weakening. Eased down in the home straight.  A post-race veterinary examination revealed the gelding to be suffering from atrial fibrillation. Trainer L McGee was advised that a veterinary clearance including the results of an ECG would be required prior to the gelding trialling to the satisfaction of stewards.
 
SEE FOR YOURSELF – Tactics queried – led. Jockey S Lacy advised that it had been her intention to ride the mare positively today and look to position behind the leaders, similar to how the mare was ridden at Dalby on the 11th of June. However, approaching the 900m it became apparent that she would be caught three wide and she elected to push forward to assume the lead. Stewards accepted her explanation.
