GENERAL
 
This meeting was transferred from Saturday 25th September 2022 to today Sunday 26th September 2022 due to rain leading up to this meeting. Stewards inspected the track on the 24th and the 25th of September and found the surface suitable for racing. Stewards requested the Club perform suitable work/s in the way of harrowing the racing surface after races 2 and 4 to ensure the integrity of the track and that it remained suitable for racing.

Stewards noted Ms Crompton’s comments and took no further action regarding the matter.

He further stated that the horse felt well in transit and may benefit from a spell. Stewards noted Jockey Yoshida’s comments. Due to the seemingly disappointing performance over the final 300m, Stewards ordered that the Mare be swabbed post-race and further, was examined by the attending Veterinarian with no abnormalities being detected.
