Steward Comment

Rounding the turn near the 900 metres was inclined to race keenly and had to be steadied when momentarily crowded for room.

Steward Comment

Prior to the race connections advised stewards that the gelding would lead, if possible. Public announcements were made to that effect. The gelding settled in a handy position after being ridden hard early.

Steward Comment

When questioned regarding the gelding racing back in the field, Jockey said that from its wide draw and when runners to the inside showed superior speed, he elected to restrain his mount and take up a position at the tail of the field closer to the running rail, where it travelled comfortably throughout.

Steward Comment

On returning to scale Apprentice reported that his mount felt awkward in its action in the home straight. A post-race veterinary examination of the mare did not reveal any abnormalities. Trainer later reported that the mare had bled from both nostrils. Trainer was advised that, as this was the first time the mare had bled, it will be barred from racing for 3 months and then only after a satisfactory gallop of at least 1000 metres in the presence of a steward. Trainer advised stewards that the mare will now be retired from racing.
