Steward Comment

When questioned regarding the improved performance, Trainer D Gardiner could offer no tangible excuse for the improved performance other than he had added a tongue tie after it’s last start at Thangool and returning to the sand surface at Bundaberg today where WRECKING BALL had previously been successful. Stewards noted the explanation.

Steward Comment

When questioned regarding the performance, apprentice J Cornish reported that she anticipated racing in the lead, however when her mount didn’t show the necessary speed, she was forced to race behind runners in the kickback, which her mount resented. Stewards noted the explanation.

Began awkwardly and inconvenienced shortly after and lost ground. Rider K Gates reported that her mount resented the kickback when trailing the field. A post-race veterinary examination revealed no abnormalities.

Steward Comment

Slow to begin and lost ground. When questioned regarding the performance, rider H Richardson could offer excuse other than her mount may have choked down and would be suggesting the addition of a tongue tie to the stable. A post-race veterinary examination revealed no abnormalities.
