RACE 1 – MOYLAN GRAIN SILOS 3YO WESTBRED PACE (2130MS)
FIRST REUNION (C. Peterson) - Inconvenienced when IRES ALLEN (D. Harper) commenced to give ground, resulting in FIRST REUNION shifting outwards tightening the running room of TAKETHECANNOLI (J. Suvaljko) causing that gelding to race roughly. Mr Peterson was reminded of his obligation when shifting ground in future.
LOVE TO FLY (E. Suvaljko) - Raced inside two marker pegs racing into the front straight on the final occasion. Driver was reminded of her obligation to ensure her drive does not shift inside marker pegs in future.
IRES ALLEN (D. Harper) - Gave ground from the 500m subsequently beaten 125 metres. A post-race veterinary examination revealed the filly to have returned with an elevated heart rate consistent of a horse experiencing the onset of a virus. Will be stood down from racing for a period of 6 days and until such time as the completion of 1 satisfactory re-qualifying trial.
TAKETHECANNOLI (J. Suvaljko) - Tightened and raced roughly racing in the back straight on the final occasion.
BARDAN KID (K. Symington) - Broke gait free of interference leaving the back straight on the first occasion subsequently trailing the field and being retired from the event. Will be stood down from racing for a period of 6 days and until such time as the completion of 1 satisfactory re-qualifying trial.
RACE 2 – WHEATBELT PLUMBING & GAS FILLIES & MARES PACE (1730MS)
KAMENDABLE GALAXY (E. Suvaljko) - Raced roughly at various stages of the event. Gave ground from the 600m being beaten 56 metres.
RACE 3 – PEAK TRANSPORT 4YO+ PACE (1730MS)
LETS ROCK TONIGHT (E. Suvaljko) – Utilised the sprint lane to win the event.
RACE 4 – KELLY GANG SHEARING PACE (2130MS)
CARUABA (S. Suvaljko) - Gave ground from the 400m being beaten 37 metres. A post-race veterinary examination revealed no abnormalities. When questioned, Mr Suvaljko could offer no excuses for the performance stating that the mare will now go for a short let up.
RACE 5 – SUMMIT FERTILIZERS PACE (2130MS)
No racing incidents to report.
RACE 6 – MEMBERS DAY 4YO+ PACE (2130MS)
RENAISSANCE ART (H. Hancock) – Broke gait free of interference shortly after the start was effected. Will be placed outside the draw in future mobile barrier events.
Stewards inquired into an incident racing out of the back straight on the first occasion where ARDENS WINSTAR NZ (C. Playle) raced roughly. After reviewing the official patrol footage and taking evidence from Drivers C. Playle (ARDENS WINSTAR NZ), D. Harper (KENNYS REVENGE), E. Suvaljko (FARAWAYEYES) and T. Wheeler (MISTER MACH) it was established that when looking for a forward position, MISTERS MACH had shifted inwards marginally causing runners to its inside to be tightened to varying degrees, resulting in ARDENS WINSTAR NZ racing in restricted room, racing roughly and MANOFTHEPEOPLE (K. Elliott) being inconvenienced. When considering all evidence Stewards found no driver to be culpable however reminded Mr Wheeler of his obligations when crossing in future.
RACE 7 – KELLERBERRIN COMMUNITY RESOURCE CENTRE PACE (2130MS
CHASING COOPER (D. Harper) – Raced roughly shortly after the start was effected.
OBSERVATION (K. Elliott) - Broke gait after the start was effected. Will continue to be placed outside the mobile barrier draw.
