MAJOR FIRE NZ– Pre-race blood sample.  Post-race swab sample.  Stewards questioned driver Cameron Hart with regards to an incident approaching the 400 metres where it appeared that OBADIAH DRAGON NZ may have been placed wider passing the 450 metres.  Driver Cameron Hart advised Stewards that rounding the final turn he shifted onto the outside wheel of DONTLETFEARSTOPYA NZ hoping to encourage that runner to commence a run three wide and provide cover to MAJOR FIRE NZ, however when OBADIAH DRAGON NZ improved quickly to his outside he had no choice but to shift his runner back down the track to a genuine position in the running line.  After considering the explanation provided by Mr Hart, which was supported by the films of the event, Stewards determined to take no further action.

OUR UNCLE JIM– Pre-race blood sample.

RACE 4 – JIM SNELSON MEMORIAL – 2300 metres

GIMMEFIVEMINUTES MORE NZ– Hung in and contacted marker pegs rounding the final turn and in doing so checked KATES VIRTUE and HERE COMES BOBBY.  After considering the recent record of the gelding, a warning was issued.

KATES VIRTUE– Checked passing the 400 metres when GIMMEFIVEMINUTES MORE NZ hung in and contacted a number of marker pegs.

CAPTAIN BLOOD– Pre-race blood sample. 

COOL NIGHT– Stewards questioned driver Jack Callaghan with regards to the tactics he adopted in the early stages of the event, whereby it appeared his runner had shown sufficient gate speed to cross GIMMEFIVEMINUTESMORE NZ in the run to the first turn and establish the lead of the event, however he elected to restrain to allow LUVARESCHS to be driven forward and occupy that position.  Mr Callaghan advised Stewards that COOL NIGHT began strongly and was in a position to be able to cross GIMMEFIVEMINUTESMORE NZ in the run to the first turn, however he noticed that LUVARESCHS had also begun well and was being driven forward and in his opinion that runner is known for surrendering the lead in its races so he elected rather than to get in a speed dual with that runner to restrain, allow it to find the lead and then look to work forward to obtain the front.  Mr Callaghan further advised that once LUVARESCHS got to the lead of the event it commenced to over race and his runner COOL NIGHT did not quicken sufficiently to establish a genuine challenge for the lead of the event which left him racing without cover for the remainder of the event.  After considering the explanation provided by Mr Callaghan Stewards determined note his comments, however Mr Callaghan was reminded of his obligations to ensure he drives his runners in a manner which ensures they are given the best opportunity to finish in the best possible position.

HERE COMES BOBBY– Checked passing the 400 metres when GIVEMEFIVEMINUTESMORE NZ hung in and contacted a number of marker pegs.

HY POACTIVE– Caught racing four wide in the early stages of the event before working forward to the lead passing the 1500 metres.  Post-race swab sample.

MAEBEE– Caught racing wide in the early stages of the event before being restrained to the tail of the field passing the 1900 metres.  Improved three wide from the 1100 metres until obtaining the position outside the leader passing the 900 metres.

TAY TAY– Pre-race blood sample.  Hung in under pressure between the 600 metres and the 400 metres when the pace of the event quickened.  Stewards questioned driver Jack Callaghan with regards to the performance of TAY TAY which weakened over the concluding stages to finish in sixth placing beaten 29 metres.  Mr Callaghan advised Stewards that he was disappointed with the performance of the mare, even considering the fast tempo in the early stages of the event whereby he challenged MY MOONLITE DREAM NZ for the lead of the event.  Mr Callaghan further explained that the only explanation he could provide with regards to the performance of the mare was that it may not have handled the quick back up from racing at Albion Park the Saturday prior given the travel that is involved.  A post-race veterinary examination of the mare failed to reveal any obvious abnormalities.  After considering the explanation provided by Mr Callaghan, Stewards determined to note his comments.
