KYVALLEY FINN– Tired significantly over the concluding stages to be beaten 84 metres. A post-race veterinary examination revealed no obvious abnormalities. Connections were unable to provide an explanation for the gelding’s performance and indicated they were disappointed as KYVALLEY FINN had been racing relatively consistently. Given the margin between runners at the finish, despite the 84 metre beaten margin, Stewards determined KYVALLEY FINN would be placed on its last chance to race truly for what was deemed to be an unsatisfactory performance.

YUKOND ME NZ– Out of position at the candy pole prior to the start and will continue to be excluded from the mobile barrier draw for the immediate future. Racing between the 500 metres and the 300 metres was inclined to hang in and contacted multiple marker pegs. A warning was issued.

When MELPARK MAGIC was able to shift out and improve around WYNBERG WATCH NZ, the gelding was inclined to race roughly and failed to run on over the concluding stages. A warning was placed on MELPARK MAGIC.

FLASH KYVALLEY– Leaving the 600 metres was hampered by the tiring WYNBERG WATCH NZ. This continued until passing the 400 metres at which point FLASH KYVALLEY was able to shift out around that runner. FLASH KYVALLEY continued to improve over the concluding stages.

Driver L Rando explained he was not afforded any firm instructions however it was always his intention to take up a forward position.  L Rando added he believed the best way to drive the gelding was to allow him to free roll in front and despite the tempo of today’s event he believed the gelding was disappointing. L Rando’s comments were noted.
