RACE 1 – FREE ENTRY AT GLOUCESTER PARK 2YO C&G PACE (2130MS)

BELIEVE IN BETTOR (W Reid) – Out of position at the start. A warning was issued.  Checked in the front straight on the first occasion.

BROOME BEACH (G. Butler) – Hung inwards leaving the back straight on the final occasion, inconveniencing MATERNAL DREAMS (D Roberts), which was forced to race inside the marker pegs for a short distance. Shortly after, the gelding, when racing greenly, shifted outwards and contacted the sulky of SOME LINE (M Miller). Due to its racing manners, the gelding was stood down from racing for a period of six days and until the completion of a  satisfactory re-qualifying trial.

WHEN IN VEGAS (T Nally) – Was a late scratching at approximately 4:11 p.m. on veterinary advice after the gelding sustained an injury to its off-hind leg following a mishap in its stall prior to the race. The gelding was stood down from racing for a period of seven days and until a veterinary certificate of soundness is produced.

AMERICAN BLAZE NZ (E. Suvaljko) – When interviewed regarding her driving tactics, Driver E Suvaljko stated that after being unable to cross DUNKALLEDY NZ (L. Elliott) in the early stages, she elected to trail that runner briefly and when BOY BLUE NZ (C. Voak) improved in the one-out line, she shifted wider to race outside the leader rather than risk being covered by other runners. Ms Suvaljko further stated that the gelding’s performance was slightly disappointing, as a stronger showing had been expected.

No racing incidents to report.

General: On inquiry it was established that as QUIGGLEY (D Egerton-Green) had shifted inwards towards the marker pegs at the same time THATS NOT MY GAIT was improving to that position and when being eased by its driver, broke gait.
