SUPPLEMENTARY REPORTS
Stewards today continued an inquiry into an incident approaching the 250m in
Race 7 at Eagle Farm on 25 April 2005. After hearing considerable evidence,
stewards found that SCENIC WELLS (M. Pelling) had to alter course around the
heels of FOREST JIM (A. Pattillo), which was in the process of shifting out, and
after proceeding to a run inside of VOLKSINI (J. Byrne), SCENIC WELLS and
VOLKSINI made heavy contact when VOLKSINI was taken out slightly by COGNISANT
(B. Stewart). In this incident VOLKSINI became unbalanced and made contact with
the hind quarters of COGNISANT. ENABLER (T. Treichel), which was racing to the
outside of FOREST JIM, had to be checked when tiring between FOREST JIM, which
shifted out, and LATINLOVER (G. Palmer), which was inclined to shift in. After
considering all evidence, A. Pattillo was given the benefit of the doubt as to
whether he had exercised sufficient care when shifting ground and he was
severely reprimanded. G. Palmer was also reprimanded for failing to take
sufficient measures to keep his mount straight.

M. Cullen, the rider of KOOMERANG TOO, was found guilty of a charge of careless
riding in that near the winning post he permitted his mount to shift in when not
clear of LOOK AT HIM, resulting in LOOK AT HIM being checked and POCKET EXPRESS

A. Pattillo. M. Cullen's licence to ride was suspended for a period of one
calendar month, to commence at midnight tonight and expire at midnight on
