Steward Comment

Slow to begin. Laid in under pressure in the home straight. When questioned regarding the horse’s improved performance, trainer M. Callaghan stated that the gelding was sore over the hind quarters following its previous start at Doomben and he attributed the improved performance to the horse being fresh from a spell.

Steward Comment

Overraced in the early and middle stages. Laid in under pressure in the home straight. Brushed the running rail at the 200m and passing the winning post. Apprentice J. Woodhouse reported at scale that the gelding overraced in the early stages which he attributed to the horse racing in a forward position in today’s event. He added that at the horse’s previous start at Warwick the gelding began poorly and he was able to obtain a position with cover. A post-race veterinary examination revealed that the gelding had a poor post-race recovery.

Steward Comment

A post-race veterinary examination revealed that the gelding had bled from both nostrils. Trainer L. Clarke was advised that as this was the first time the horse had bled, it will be ineligible to start for a period of 3 months, and prior to resuming racing must gallop satisfactorily over 1000m in the presence of a steward.
