TRACK:   GOOD
WEATHER:   FINE
RAIL:       TRUE

A deputation of stewards and jockeys undertook an inspection of the track prior to the start of the first race as there was concern about an area of track at the 1650 metre mark and again at the 1500 metre mark.   As a result the track in this area was mowed and the grass clippings were removed from the area in question.

RACE  1 - WREST POINT PIER ONE RESTAURANT & BAR CLASS 4 HANDICAP – 1550 METRES 

The start of this race was delayed slightly when HEARTLESS (B McCoull) reared on several occasions whilst being loaded into the barriers.

 
HEARTLESS (B McCoull) raced green throughout, then racing down the back straight, the gelding over-raced, then despite the efforts of its rider, HEARTLESS hung out between the 500  metre mark and the 300 metre mark. 

Rounding the home turn at the 300 metre mark, SCOTTISH SYMBOL (M Ball A) was held up behind AROMA ROYALE (D Pires) which had rolled in marginally away from MATANE (K Dodge) resulting in SCOTTISH SYMBOL brushing the running rail.

 

Stewards questioned Jockey Parish in regard to the tactics employed on ON FLIGHT (NZ) today.  Jockey Parish stated that it was her intention to obtain a break mid-race on the gelding and make the other runners have to chase.  These tactics were employed due to the gelding being one-paced, however, Jockey Parish stated that her run had ended by the time she got to the 400 metre mark.  Stewards noted her explanation.

RACE  2 - WREST POINT FIVE STAR PREMIUM SUITE CLASS 6 HANDICAP – 1920 METRES 

LORRELEE (K Boxhall A) threw its head in the air shortly after the start and then over‑raced in the early stages.

 

CHARZARD (D Pires) was held up in the home straight before switching wider on the track to obtain a clear run.

Stewards spoke to Jockey Snell (ISLAND QUEST) in regard to him failing to ride his mount out with the whip over the concluding stages.  Jockey Snell stated that the horse’s run had peaked and he wasn’t finding any more under the whip but he continued to ride the gelding out hands and heels.  Stewards noted his explanation.

 

Stewards opened an inquiry into the riding tactics employed today on YES NO YES (M Morris A) and LORRELEE (K Boxhall A).  Stewards adjourned an inquiry with Apprentice K Boxhall until such time as her Master, Mr Leon Wells, is available to be present with her.  Stewards spoke to Apprentice M Morris and Trainer D Brunton.  Apprentice Morris stated that although he had tried on several occasions to steady the gelding running past the 1400 metre mark he was unable to restrain the horse and once LORRELEE had moved to his outside, the horse began to over-race.  Trainer Brunton was of the opinion that maybe it was an error for Apprentice Morris to ride the horse out of the barriers but he was of the opinion that Apprentice Morris had tried to restrain his mount and had done everything possible.  Stewards noted their explanations.

RACE  3 - WREST POINT SPORTS BAR MAIDEN PLATE 3-Y-O & UPWARDS  – SET WEIGHTS – 1205 METRES

FIREBALL JIMMY (Trainer Chris Crook) was a late scratching at 1.38 pm by order of Stewards acting on veterinary advice when the horse was found to have sustained trauma to the left hip in the float en route to the race track.  Trainer Mrs Crook was advised that a veterinary certificate of soundness must be tendered prior to the FIREBALL JIMMY’s next race start.

BACK AT TWO (S Snell) was tightened at the start when MISS SEVEN OF NINE (J Borrett) jumped inwards and MILITARY MAN (K Bandy) jumped outwards. 

 

Rounding the 500 metre turn, MILITARY MAN (K Bandy) hung out and as a result carried MISS SEVEN OF NINE (J Borrett) wider on the track.

The announcement of correct weight was delayed when Jockey B McCoull, rider of the second placegetter, RED FOR DANGER, requested to view the film in order to make a decision on lodging a protest.  After viewing the film Jockey McCoull subsequently lodged an objection against WEASEL WAV (D Pires) being declared the winner on the grounds of alleged interference over the concluding stages.  After viewing the official patrol videos, hearing the evidence from all parties and from the Stewards own observations, Stewards dismissed the protest and the Judge’s placings stood.  Stewards believe that the initial movement was from RED FOR DANGER which shifted in brushing with WEASEL WAV who in turn shifted out and bumped with RED FOR DANGER.  Stewards dismissed the objection as they were not convinced the interference suffered by RED FOR DANGER was sufficient to warrant amending the Judge’s placings. 

On return to scale Jockey S Maskiell (NO LAUGHING MATTER) stated that his horse slipped rounding the home turn.

A swab sample was taken from the winner of the race WEASEL WAV (Trainer John Luttrell).

On return to scale, Apprentice M Ball reported that his horse (KING FLYER) caught itself whilst being loaded into its barrier stall.  A post-race veterinary examination of KING FLYER (Trainer John Luttrell) revealed the gelding to have a laceration on its off‑side hip which required no stand-down period.

*** Stewards intend to speak to Jockey T Atkin in regard to this matter.

RACE 1 - RAINE & HORNE INTERNATIONAL - DIVISION 1 3-Y-O & UPWARDS – MAIDEN - SET WEIGHTS – 1000 METRES

SOME TRUTH (Trainer Jason Clifford) was a late scratching at 1.05 pm by order of Stewards when the mare refused to leave the mounting yard. Trainer Clifford was advised that SOME TRUTH has been stood down until such time as the mare can trial to the satisfaction of Stewards. Prior to the announcement of correct weight, Stewards ordered all monies invested on SOME TRUTH (14/1) prior to 1.05 pm to be refunded in full. All bets made prior to 1.05 pm are to be paid less six cents in the dollar on the face value of the win ticket and six cents in the dollar on the value of the place ticket. As the start was affected, FOREST PEAK (B McCoull) jumped inwards. At the same time RED RIVAL (M Ball A) jumped out and bumped with GODDONI (J Borrett). FOREST PEAK (B McCoull) raced green in the early stages of the event then shifted ground inwards and bumped with RED RIVAL (M Ball A). Approaching the 700 metre mark, RED RIVAL (M Ball A) began to over-race, threw its head in the air and got on to the heels of MY JETHRO (S Snell).

Rounding the turn at the 300 metre mark, PLUSH ROSE (D Parish) shifted off the rail and in doing so TARBO (R Bradley), who over-reacted, shifted a lot wider on the track. Jockey Parish reported that PLUSH ROSE got its tongue over the bit rounding the home turn. As a result the horse proved difficult to control. PLUSH ROSE (D Parish) laid in in the home straight. TARBO (R Bradley) raced green in the home straight. Stewards inquired into the reasons why WHIRL (D Robinson A) ran off at the home turn. Apprentice Robinson stated that because the horse was hanging and was inclined to shift away from the runners to his inside, he used the whip on the off-side to try to hold his position but it was to no avail as the horse continued to shift. Stewards noted Jockey Robinson’s explanation and advised him that in similar circumstances in the future he should try to steer the horse with both hands on the reins rather than using the whip. A post-race veterinary examination of WHIRL (Trainer A Stubbs) failed to reveal any obvious abnormalities with the filly.

RACE 4 - RAINE & HORNE SORELL CLASS 1 HANDICAP - 1400 METRES

IRISH JOKER (S Snell) was slow into stride. KITA RYOKAN (L Goodrick) raced wide throughout. Stewards spoke to Jockey Goodrick regarding the reasons why she raced three wide throughout. Jockey Goodrick stated that she tried to ease rounding the 1200 metre mark and take a position closer to the rail but was unable to do so as DESIGN ACADEMY (S Maskiell) had shifted out to one horse off the fence taking that position. As a result she was caught wide and was unable to show enough speed to go forward. Jockey McCoull reported that OUR DASHING DANE hung out rounding the home turn and as a result lost ground.

RACE 5 - RAINE & HORNE EASTERN SHORE CLASS 1 HANDICAP - 1100 METRES

OUR BOY GEORGE (M Morris A) was very slow to begin and lost several lengths. IMOLICITY (J Borrett) was slow to begin. At about the 650 metre mark, ROYAL RELAY (S Snell) when over-racing, shifted ground outwards off the heels of DJUAN (S Gates) and in doing so shifted PLUSH PRINCE (D Parish) wider on the track. Rounding the home turn, PLUSH PRINCE (D Parish) laid in then slipped behind and as a result bumped with ROYAL RELAY (S Snell). ROYAL RELAY then continued to lay in until the end of the race. At about the 300 metre mark IMOLICITY (J Borrett) shifted wider on the track and bumped with IMAGE CONSCIOUS (B McCoull). IMAGE CONSCIOUS laid in thereafter and as a result crowded IMOLICITY over the concluding stages. A post-race veterinary examination of PLUSH PRINCE (Trainer Royston Carr) failed to reveal any obvious abnormalities. A post-race veterinary examination of IMAGE CONSCIOUS (Trainer David Brunton) failed to reveal any obvious abnormalities.

RACE 6 - RAINE & HORNE GLENORCHY CLASS 2 HANDICAP - 1200 METRES

As the start was affected, PAPPA BEAR (S Hamer A) became buffeted between MATRIX HUNTER (J Borrett) and MASTER SONAR (S Snell). Rounding the home turn, RILEY REDWING (M Morris A) hung out and as a result ran wider than necessary. Stewards questioned Apprentice M Morris (RILEY REDWING) regarding the reasons why he allowed his horse to go wide rounding the home turn. Apprentice Morris stated that his horse was hanging but he also had elected to shift wider on the track to give his horse galloping room. A post-race veterinary examination of RILEY REDWING failed to reveal any obvious abnormalities. A swab sample was taken from the winner of the race ZARINA BOY (Trainer Terry Roles).

RACE 8 - W B KITCHENER HANDICAP – 1400 METRES

MATSONATION (Trainer Peter Luttrell) was a late scratching at 5.11 pm by order of Stewards acting on veterinary advice after the gelding was found to be lame in both front legs. Prior to the announcement of correct weight, Stewards ordered all monies invested on MATSONATION (20/1) prior to 5.11 pm to be refunded in full with no further alteration to be made to betting. Trainer Luttrell was advised that a veterinary certificate of soundness must be tendered prior to the gelding’s next race start. ALVA (K Dodge) over-raced in the early and middle stages. COALFIELDS (S Maskiell) laid in over the concluding stages.

RACE 9 - RAINE & HORNE COMMERCIAL HANDICAP CLASS 4 - 1000 METRES

CORINDHAP (D Sparks) was a little slow into stride. CANDLE IN THE WIND (J Borrett) was accidentally struck with the whip of Apprentice M Ball (A LITTLE NEDDY) at approximately the 200 metre mark. AXEZEWANG (M Morris A) which was following, had to be momentarily steadied. Stewards spoke to Trainer M Wood in regard to the improved performance of CANDLE IN THE WIND today. Trainer Wood stated that the horse had improved from its first up run and was more suited to racing in its own class. A post-race veterinary examination of BIANCHI (Trainer David Brunton) failed to reveal any obvious abnormalities. A swab sample was taken from the winner of the race CANDLE IN THE WIND (Trainer Max Wood.

GENERAL

Stewards acceded to a request by Trainer Peter Luttrell to replace the indisposed Apprentice D Robinson with senior jockeys as Trainer Luttrell believed they would be more suited to his horses than the remaining apprentices that were available. Stewards concluded an inquiry into the reasons why Jockey D Oakford did not fulfill his riding engagements at the Tasmanian Turf Club’s race meeting on Sunday, 3 October 2004. After taking evidence from Jockey Oakford and Trainer Mrs P Quarrell, Stewards believe there was a lack of communication between both parties which lead to Jockey Oakford believing that he no longer held an engagement to ride BIONIC BOY. Stewards reminded both parties that in future these matters should be brought before Stewards to be determined. Stewards concluded an inquiry into an incident in Race 9 – Montile Class 2 Handicap on the Tasmanian Turf Club’s race meeting on Sunday, 3 October 2004 when shortly after the start, STIHLMACK DAWN (S Maskiell) and FLORIAN (S Snell) bumped and then shifted ground inwards. Stewards were satisfied with the explanations given by both riders and no further action was taken. Stewards advised Jockey S Maskiell that in future he must obtain permission before leaving the course at the conclusion of the race meeting.

 RACE  1 - PAUL CHRISTIAN MAIDEN PLATE 3-Y-O & UPWARDS  – SET WEIGHTS – 1550 METRES

 

IGOLIDE (P Michaelides) was slow to muster early speed.

 

ROLY KEN (D Pires) over-raced in the early and middle stages.

 

Rounding the turn at the 1300 metre mark, AVOIDANCE (D Robinson A) shifted inwards towards the rail and as a result BLACKBERRY PIE (S Maskiell) and VAL’S DELIGHT (D Oakford) were both inconvenienced.  Apprentice Robinson was shown the film and advised that he is to take far greater care in future when shifting ground.

 

Upon pulling up, Jockey P Michaelides (IGOLIDE) was dislodged by his mount at approximately the 1200 metre mark.  Jockey Michaelides was examined by the on-course ambulance officers and was found to have sustained a leg injury and was subsequently  transported to hospital for precautionary observation and x-rays.  Stewards advised Jockey Michaelides that he is to present a medical certificate declaring him fit to ride before he resumes riding in track-work, trials or races.  Due to these circumstances, Jockey Michaelides was unable to weigh in and acting under AR-142, Stewards declared correct weight.

 

Stewards questioned Jockey S Maskiell in regard to the apparent disappointing performance of BLACKBERRY PIE, the 4 / 9 favourite.  Jockey Maskiell stated that the mare hung out badly and gave him great difficulty during the race.    When questioned, Trainer Crook stated that the mare had worked her lead-up to today’s race in the same bit she wore in today’s race and she was unable to explain the mare’s manners today.  Stewards noted her comments.  A post-race veterinary examination of BLACKBERRY PIE revealed the mare to have bruising to the left cheek

 

A swab sample was taken from the winner of the race  KITA RYOKAN (Trainer Chris Crook).

RACE  2 - TONY BUTTERWORTH MAIDEN PLATE 3-Y-O & UPWARDS  – SET WEIGHTS – 1080 METRES

The race book incorrectly showed PLUSH PRINCE as being a horse when in fact PLUSH PRINCE is a gelding.

 

Stewards permitted IAM IAM to race in owner Mr Peter Hookway’s second set of colours due to the original colours being required in Victoria for the weekend.  A public announcement was made to this effect.

 

PLUSH PRINCE (D Parish) underwent a pre-race veterinary examination and was passed fit to race after the gelding reared and fell over in the parade ring prior to the race.

The start of this race was delayed approximately three minutes due to PLUSH PRINCE dislodging its rider on route to the barriers.  Jockey Parish was examined by the on‑course ambulance officers who passed her fit to take her ride in this race. 

Trainer R Carr was advised that PLUSH PRINCE has been stood down from racing until the gelding can pass a trial to Stewards’ satisfaction. 

HANKS GENTLEMAN (R Bradley), PLUSH PRINCE (D Parish) and IAM IAM (M Morris A) were all slow to begin.

Shortly after leaving the 600 metre mark, FLORIAN (S Snell) was awkwardly placed on the heels of WESTERN CHEER (J Borrett) for a number of strides.

PERFECT VISA (S Maskiell) was held up momentarily at approximately the 200 metre mark when attempting a run to the inside of NIGHT FIGHTER (K Bandy).

ARABIAN PRIDE (D Pires) laid in over the concluding stages.

Stewards inquired into an incident at incident at approximately the 900 metre mark when PLUSH PRINCE lost its racing position.  Stewards established that PLUSH PRINCE, after beginning slowly and racing greenly, improved to the inside of CHIEMSEE to obtain a tight run.  CHIEMSEE then shifted ground inwards when REILLY JANE, which was racing to its outside, shifted in and away from RED RIVAL (M Ball A).  As a result PLUSH PRINCE was checked.  As Stewards could not apportion blame to any one rider and considering the racing manners of PLUSH PRINCE and REILLY JANE, Stewards took no further action other than to remind all riders that they must give each other the room to which they are entitled.

RACE  5 - CHEAPER FURNITURE HANDICAP – 1080 METRES

Correct weight for this event was delayed due to Apprentice M Morris (ORIENTAL WINGS) weighing in 900 grams under his declared weight.  After calling for the bridle in accordance with AR-143, correct weight was declared.  At a subsequent inquiry, after taking evidence from Apprentice Morris and Clerk of the Scales, Mr C White in the presence of Trainer Mr David Brunton, the Master of Apprentice Morris, it could not be determined whether or not apprentice Morris had weighed out at the correct weight, however, both apprentice Morris and Mr White were advised they are to ensure at all times they are extremely diligent with regard to matters of this kind.

 

As the start was affected, LITTLE PORKIES (NZ) (S Snell) jumped out and at the same time GOODNIK (D Parish) jumped in and as a result MASTER SONAR (D Pires) who was between the two, was tightened for room.

 

MATRIX HUNTER (C Kingston) was slow to begin.

 

MASTER SONAR hung in in the home straight.

 

Stewards inquired into an incident at the 950 metre mark when CANDLE IN THE WIND (J Borrett) appeared to be checked.  After inquiry, Stewards found Apprentice Morris guilty of a charge under AR-137 (a), the careless riding being that at approximately the 950 metre mark, he allowed his mount to shift in when insufficiently clear of GOODNIK (D Parish) resulting in that gelding being carried inwards crowding LITTLE PORKIES (NZ) (S Snell) in on to BARKER (D Robinson A) who in turn shifted in and tightened CANDLE IN THE WIND.  As a result CANDLE IN THE WIND struck the running rail and was checked by its rider. Stewards suspended Apprentice Morris’ licence to ride in races for a period covered by one race meeting in Tasmania to commence at midnight today and expire at midnight on Sunday, 5 September 2004.  In arriving at their decision, Stewards took into account Apprentice Morris’ relative inexperience, however, advised him if he were to come before them in the near future, harsher action may be taken.
