RACE 1 – DOWNLOAD THE TAB APP TODAY PACE – 1730 metres
HIGH QUEST– Broke stride free of any external factors during the score up and galloped. Connections were advised that a warning would be placed on the mare’s record.
FAYS DELIGHT– Slow to begin.
SAILOR GIRL– Post-race urine sample was obtained.
DILETTO– Pre-race blood sample was obtained. Broke stride free of any external factors shortly after the start and galloped. Trainer/driver Mr N Turnbull was advised that DILETTO would now be placed outside the mobile barrier draw.
TAYLORS FOUR– Pre-race blood sample was obtained.
ROLL THE SEVEN– When questioned in relation to her driving in the early stages driver A Turnbull explained that in accordance with the geldings established pattern, she drove forward in the early stages in an attempt to obtain the lead. She said that approaching the turn after the start she had established a lead over SAILOR GIRL and was confident that she would cross that runner. She said that shortly after this ROLL THE SEVEN became one-paced and could not accelerate sufficiently to cross. She stated that rounding the turn into the home straight on the first occasion, she observed SAILOR GIRL to be travelling comfortably and not being pressured to maintain the lead, therefore she again drove with vigour in an attempt to cross and lead, however after being unable to do so she restrained passing the winning post on the first occasion and raced behind SAILOR GIRL. Ms Turnbull conceded that the lead time was faster than she had envisaged and had ROLL THE SEVEN been more responsive approaching the entrance to the front straight she would have restrained sooner. Taking into account all the circumstances, including review of the gelding’s recent form, no action was taken.

He said that after this SILKCLOUD did not travel well at any stage and was under pressure inside the 500 metres. He said that despite being disappointed for a clear run at the entrance to the home straight when placed under pressure the filly was unresponsive and ran to the finish in a disappointing manner.

She said that in this position IAM THE CAPTAIN did not travel strongly at any stage, however she was able to go forward inside the 600 metres when racing behind YAREADYFREDDY and attempted to improve outside that runner from the 400 metres. She said that from this point despite her constant efforts IAM THE CAPTAIN was unresponsive and ran to the finish in a disappointing manner.
