Steward Comment

The start of this event was delayed due to both hind plates requiring farrier attention. Stewards permitted this horse to race barefoot behind when these plates were considered not suitable to be refitted. Trainer N Hocking was subsequently fined $300 under AR 232(f) in that he presented the gelding to race at today’s meeting with hind plates on both hooves which were unsuitable for racing. Slow to begin. M Kennedy reported that her mount raced ungenerously throughout.
