Steward Comment

When questioned regarding the horse’s seemingly improved performance, trainer J. Anderson advised that although the gelding raced greenly and was forced wider on the home turn at its previous start at Ipswich, she was not disappointed with its performance on that occasion. She added that since then the horse had pleased her in its work leading up to this event and she had expected a forward showing. She further added that in her opinion the horse performs better on tracks other than Toowoomba and indicated that the gelding would now be sent for a spell.

Steward Comment

As the horse had raced at Ipswich on Friday 16 February, it underwent a pre-race veterinary examination, and was cleared to start. Began awkwardly and lost ground.

Steward Comment

N. Tomizawa reported that the filly was disappointing and that he could offer no explanation for the performance. Trainer B. Currie was unable to offer any tangible explanation for the performance, however undertook to inform stewards should anything come to light in coming days which may have had an effect on the performance. A post-race veterinary examination revealed small lacerations to both hind legs.
