Steward Comment

Rider H Richardson indicated it was not her intention to lead, however after being forced wider on the track approaching the 800m and with a lack of pace to the inside, she allowed SWEET VENOM to stride forward and lead the event. Ms Richardson added going forward it would be the intention of the stable to ride the horse in a similar manner.

Steward Comment

Rider J Molloy reported the horse over-raced in the early stages and in his opinion failed to handle the step-up distance today. Trainer B Gorman reported it would be his intention to give SWAN ISLAND a short let up and going forward would drop the horse back in distance.

Steward Comment

Shifted in and brushed the running rail near the 800m. When questioned regarding tactics today, specifically her decision to restrain in the middle stages, M Castle stated instructions were to be positive out of the barriers however after being pressured by runners to the outside she elected to restrain and obtain cover which resulted in WALSHIE racing in a midfield position on the rails. M Castle, rider of WALSHIE, was fined $300 under AR132(7)(a)(ii) for use of the whip on seven occasions prior to the 100m, two more than permitted.
