Race 1: GROSS WHOLESALER MEATS FILLIES & MARES MAIDEN HANDICAP 1350m
 
Declaration of correct weight was delayed to allow Stewards to view the footage of the concluding stages to ascertain whether grounds for an objection existed on behalf of connections of 4th placegetter FLYNG JOY against 3rd placegetter LATIN LYRIC. After viewing the footage Stewards determined that the bump between the two runners passing the 50m occurred as a result of shifts from both FLYING JOY and LATIN LYRIC and subsequently declared correct weight on the Judges numbers.
 
 
FLYING JOY- Began awkwardly and shifted out. Raced keenly down the back straight. Held up for clear running from the 400m until entering into the home straight and shifting wider. Raced greenly down the running and bumped passing the 50m.
 
SHEZANUISANCE- Began awkwardly.
 
TWO TIME GIRL- Raced keenly down the back straight. Raced wide for the majority. Jockey L McCoy advised that her mount had been inclined to race greenly throughout.
 
FRIJOLES- Laid out passing the 700m and became awkwardly placed on heels having to be eased. Laid out under pressure down the running.
 
BOUT- Eased from the 1000-900m to obtain a position with cover closer to the inside running rail. Held up for clear running for a short distance leaving the 400m.
 
OBSIDIAN ROSE- Laid out rounding the home turn.
 
LATIN LYRIC- Bumped passing the 450m, laid out under pressure down the running bumping with another runner passing the 50m. Raced wide for the majority.
 
IN A MINUTE RILEY- Bumped passing the 450m. App J Molloy was reprimanded under the provisions of AR132(7)(a)(ii) in that he did use his whip on 8 occasions, 3 more than permitted prior to the 100m.
 
HYPERION ANGEL- Jockey M Savva was cautioned under the provisions of AR132 regarding her use of the whip on a beaten runner.
 
 
 
Race 2: HUTCHINSON CONTRACTING COLTS, GELDINGS & ENTIRES MAINDEN HANDICAP 1350m
 
ORACLES DRUMMER- Underwent a pre-race veterinary examination and was passed fit to start. Underwent a further pre-race veterinary examination at the barrier on request of the rider and was passed fit to start. Laid in for the majority, crowding runners to it inside near the 800m. Jockey M Murphy was advised to exercise greater effort in straightening his mounts in similar circumstances.
 
MAILOUT- Began awkwardly. Shifted out marginally approaching the 200m.
 
SWEET WIND- Bumped on jumping.
 
SEQUOIA CHIEFTAIN- Began awkwardly. Crowded passing the 800m. Shifted out passing the 300m to obtain clear running. Disappointed for a run passing the 200m.
 
GIRRAMAY- Bumped on jumping. Shifted in an away from another runner near the 800m crowding a further runner.
 
LOCK AND LAUNCH- Shifted in under pressure down the running. When questioned regarding the seemingly improved performance Trainer M Faulkner advised that he had expected a forward showing in todays event being over a more favourably distance than the geldings most recent outings. Trainer Faulkner added that in its most recent start the gelding had had a difficult run and the disappointing result on that occasion was, in his opinion, excusable. Stewards noted the explanation.
 
INCLUSION- Shifted in under pressure down the running. Raced wide for the majority. Performed below market expectations. Trainer/Jockey C Jokic stated that the gelding did not appreciate the track conditions and is better suited to firmer going. Stewards noted the explanation. Underwent a post-race veterinary examination which failed to reveal any significant abnormalities.
 
 
Following the running of this event the racing surface was upgraded to a Soft 6
 
 
 
Race 3: RANBUILD WARWICK- SCOTTY ELLIS MEORIAL BENCHMARK 65 HANDICAP 1100m
 
DOLLOP- Began awkwardly. App J Molloy pleaded guilty to a charge under the provisions of AR131(a) in that near the 900m he did shift in when insufficiently clear of GLOBAL FACTOR (S Lacy) causing that runner to be checked and lose its rightful running, before continuing to shift in and leaving the 800m did shift in when insufficiently clear of STRYKING PRINCESS (R Payne) causing that runner to be checked and lose its rightful running. App Molloy’s license to ride in races was subsequently suspended for a period of 11 days to commence 17th October up to and including 27th October 2022. In determining penalty Stewards considered App Molloys guilty plea, his record in relation to the rule and the degree of carelessness and severity of interference which were deemed to be in the mid-range. App Molloy was advised of his right to an internal review.
 
SHOCK AND AWE- Stewards noted the reasons tendered by Trainer G Banks regarding the late rider nonetheless, Trainer Banks was reprimanded under the provisions of LR67(1). Began awkwardly. Over-raced passing the 800m.

Underwent a post-race veterinary examination which failed to reveal any significant abnormalities. App M Castle advised that, in her opinion, the gelding didn’t handle the prevailing track conditions.
 
DREAM ENTITY- Obliged to ease and shift out to avoid the heels of another runner which was being checked leaving the 800m. Disappointed for a run approaching the 200m and raced in restricted room on heels for the remainder of the event, clipping heels and blundering passing the winning post and consequently, went to the line without being fully tested. When questioned Jockey M Murphy advised that after being disappointed for a run he was precariously placed on heels and unable to restrain his mount back to shift ground and obtain clear running. Jockey Murphy added that in hindsight he would have been better placed to shift to the outside to obtain clear running but initially he believed attempting to improve into the run between GLOBAL FACTOR and SERTIN was the best option, however when that run closed quickly he was unable to restrain his mount.

SWIFT MISS FOX- Began awkwardly.
 
BOOMI’S BUDDY- Began awkwardly.

Stewards determined that marginally after encroaching the line of CHEESIE Jockey Bayliss had exercised a reasonable degree of effort to correct his mount which did not respond however, this was deemed to be a mitigating factor in the incident.
