Steward Comment

The start was delayed when the gelding cast an off fore plate and required the attention of the farrier. When questioned regarding the improved performance, stable representative advised that the gelding was first up today after winning a recent jump- out at Caloundra. She also added that the improved performance could be attributed to the addition of blinkers on for the first time.

Passing the 800m commenced to over-race at the heels of I DREAM OF GREEN and shifted out and as a result raced 3 wide without cover from that point.

Stable advised that the instructions would be to attempt to gain a position with cover. Ridden accordingly. When afforded the opportunity to comment on the performance, Jockey M Hellyer stated that after having a favourable run throughout, the mare travelled well until placed under pressure and proved disappointing.

Steward Comment

Began awkwardly and was then slow into stride. Near the 700m when racing ungenerously, shifted out and had to be restrained from heels. Hung out rounding the home turn. A post-race veterinary examination revealed no significant abnormalities. Trainer G Taylor was advised that a warning will be placed on the geldings racing manners.

Steward Comment

Began awkwardly and lost ground. Jockey L Rolls reported at scale that his mount did not feel comfortable in its action and therefore he was reluctant to place the gelding under pressure as he had concerns that it may have suffered an injury. A post-race veterinary examination revealed the gelding to be lame in the near hind leg. Trainer J Smerdon was advised that he must obtain a veterinary certificate of fitness before the geldings next race start.
