Steward Comment

On returning to scale, jockey M Harley reported that the gelding was inclined to lay in from the 600m and when placed under pressure, failed to run on as he had expected and in his opinion was disappointing. As the veterinary surgeon was required to attend to an injured horse, a veterinary examination was unable to be carried out, however stewards will follow up with trainer L Mayfield-Smith in the days following today’s event in relation to the gelding’s post-race recovery.

Steward Comment

Faulted near the 1100m and was eased down and retired from the event. A post-race veterinary examination revealed the gelding to have sustained a near-foreleg injury. After receiving veterinary treatment on course, the gelding was transported to the Gold Coast veterinary clinic for further veterinary assessment.
