RACE 1 - FALL OF SINGAPORE SUPERVOBIS (TAS) 2-Y-O

MAIDEN PLATE - DIVISION 1 - 1080 METRES - 14 RUNNERS

Jockey S Maskiell (PRIMA CAVALLO) was dislodged from his mount en route to the barriers. Jockey Maskiell re-mounted and proceeded to the barriers.

DUGANOWL (L Goodrick) and SPECIAL HONEY (J Borrett) were both slow into stride.

Approaching the 600 metre mark, PETER’S PICK (D Pires A) rolled in slightly. As a result TOM’S TOP (B McCoull) had to be steadied by its rider and shifted out slightly. At the same time BORN A QUEEN (K Bandy) shifted in marginally which in turn resulted in ROYAL RELAY (P Michaelides), who was over-racing at the time, becoming crowded for galloping room for a number of strides before being restrained by its rider. As a result of this incident ALSANDREA (R Hanby A) had to be checked by its rider and switched to the outside of the heels of LITTLE STUART (S Gates) who had shifted in slightly.

GRAND ARTIST (C Burt) and SUPER BREW (S Tsaikos) laid in throughout in the straight.

CLAUSE TWO (K Sanderson) raced greenly in the straight.

The Club’s veterinary surgeon reported that he inspected GRAND ARTIST at the barriers and found the gelding to have a heavy infection of a skin disease consistent with ringworm over its shoulder, ribs and the left foreleg. Trainer McCulloch will be advised that a veterinary certificate is required prior to GRAND ARTIST’s next race start to ensure the infection has cleared.

A swab sample was taken from the winner of the race BORN A QUEEN (Trainer Terence Evans).

RACE 2 - DARWIN MEMORIAL SUPERVOBIS (TAS) 2-Y-O

MAIDEN PLATE - DIVISION 2 - 1080 METRES - 14 RUNNERS

The start of this race was delayed when the horses arrived at the barrier a little late.

The start was further delayed when CLANCY QUEST (K Bandy) proved fractious at the barriers and difficult to load. Stewards will advise Trainer Graeme McCulloch that a warning had been placed on this colt’s manners at the barriers.

BRIDGEWATER JERRY (W Stacey A) over-raced in the early and middle stages of the event and was difficult to restrain.

Rounding the home turn, shortly prior to straightening, BRIDGEWATER JERRY (W Stacey A) became crowded for galloping room to the inside of LE TOUCH (C Burt) and CENTERTAIN (B McCoull) and had to be steadied by its rider when attempting a tight run to the inside of LE TOUCH.

Shortly after straightening, DESIGN ACADEMY (S Gates) switched to the inside of LE TOUCH (S Burt) to obtain a clear run. Shortly thereafter, LE TOUCH shifted in slightly and as a result DESIGN ACADEMY shied away from it and shifted inwards. Thereafter BRIDGEWATER JERRY (W Stacey A) became crowded between DESIGN ACADEMY and the inside running rail and had to be checked by its rider. Notwithstanding the fact that DESIGN ACADEMY (S Gates) had shied away from LE TOUCH (C Burt) to its outside, Stewards issued Jockey Gates with a reprimand, AR-137(a) (careless riding) and advised him that in the circumstances he should have stopped and straightened his mount sooner than he had done on this occasion.

DESIGN ACADEMY (S Gates) jumped the shadow at the winning post.

A swab sample was taken from the winner of the race FOR US ALL (Trainer Chris Crook).

CAITLIN’S BEST (C Kingston) raced ungenerously for some distance in the middle stages of the event.

At approximately the 700 metre mark CURRENT TREND (B McCoull) who was racing ungenerously, had to be restrained off the heels of FINE OMENS (S Maskiell) who had rolled in marginally, and shifted to the outside of this horse’s heels and in doing so contacted with CAITLIN’S BEST (C Kingston) to its outside. As a result TRISTALE (K Bandy) who was racing to the outside of CAITLIN’S BEST (C Kingston) was carried a little wider up the track.

A post-race veterinary inspection of QUEE DEE failed to reveal any obvious abnormalities.

RACE 4 - KOKODA TRAIL MAIDEN PLATE - 1205 METRES

11 RUNNERS

Apprentice R Hanby (BACKSTAGE LASS) and Jockey C Burt (CALL ME ROSIE) were each fined $25 under AR-175(k) for presenting themselves in the incorrect colours in the mounting yard.

The start of this race was delayed when it was established that the reins fitted to CALL ME ROSIE (Jockey C Burt - Trainer Douglas Brazendale) required replacement at the barriers. The start was further delayed when NOTORIOUS DEE (C Kingston) and GO WAY OUT (K Bandy) broke through the front of their barrier gates. After galloping a short distance, both geldings were restrained by their riders and returned to behind the barriers where both horses underwent veterinary inspections. After inspection, NOTORIOUS DEE and GO WAY OUT were passed fit to take their places with the field. An announcement to this effect was made prior to the event.

CALL ME ROSIE (C Burt) became buffeted between SECRETARY LADY (S Gates) and AVENGING STAR (R Bradley A) shortly after the start and lost some ground on the field as a result. When questioned, Jockey Burt stated that after suffering some interference shortly after the start, she felt something amiss with this filly and as a result she eased this filly out of the event shortly thereafter.

FLOPPY BUMBLE (B McCoull) threw its head up and raced ungenerously for some distance between the 800 and the 600 metre marks.

SECRETARY LADY (S Gates) and PRINCESS OF NIME (R Hanby A) had a tendency to lay in in the straight.

Trainer Douglas Brazendale pleaded guilty to a charge under AR-8(n) in that he presented CALL ME ROSIE in a set of reins which were deemed to be unsuitable and unsafe which resulted in a different set of reins having to be fitted to this filly at the barriers. Trainer Brazendale was fined the sum of $100. In coming to this decision, Stewards took into account that this was Mr Brazendale’s second offence of this nature and advised Trainer Brazendale that in future, a substantially heavier penalty may be imposed for similar breaches. In the circumstances, Stewards confiscated the reins.

A post-race veterinary inspection of CALL ME ROSIE failed to reveal any obvious abnormalities.

RACE 5 - 2/40 BATTALION MAIDEN PLATE - 1310 METRES

10 RUNNERS

The Club’s veterinary surgeon inspected MATSQUI BOY after the gelding became fractious in its barrier stall and sustained a minor graze to its left hock. MATSQUI BOY was subsequently passed fit to take its place with the field.

DEMON DIVER (K Cook) was slow into stride.

Approaching the 600 metre mark, OUR DASHING DANE (P Michaelides) shifted out slightly and carried MISS LEWINSKY (C Burt) a little wider on the track.

A post-race veterinary inspection of DEMON DIVER revealed the colt to have a slow recovery. It was also noted that DEMON DIVER had cast an off-fore plate in running.

RACE 6 - GALLIPOLI CLASS 1 HANDICAP - 1205 METRES - 12 RUNNERS

Jockey S Gates replaced Jockey K Bandy as the rider of CAITLIN’S HOPE when Jockey Bandy was found to be overweight. At a subsequent inquiry, Jockey Bandy was reprimanded under AR-120(b) for accepting a ride for which he was subsequently found to be overweight.

RACE 8 - DEFENCE FORCES CLASS 2 HANDICAP - 1550 METRES

8 RUNNERS

DEVON RELAY (K Cook) was slow into stride.

MY LOVER (S Gates) broke down shortly after straightening. As a result Jockey S Gates eased this gelding out of the event. The Club’s veterinary surgeon reported that the gelding had an injury to its off hind leg and was subsequently euthanased.

LIGHT RANK (L Goodrick ) laid in throughout in the straight. Jockey Goodrick reported at scale that as a result of this horse laying in, she was unable to ride the gelding out in her normal manner.

Shortly after straightening, JETBOY JUNIOR (K Cook A) was held up for a number of strides behind the tiring DOUGIE’S PRIDE (S Tsaikos).

The announcement of correct weight was delayed when Jockey B McCoull, the rider of CHERRY WILD wished to view a photo print of the finish. After viewing the camera version of the finish, Jockey McCoull requested a developed print which was viewed by Mr C Goggin, the trainer of CHERRY WILD, Jockey B McCoull and the Judge, Mr K Beck in the presence of the Stewards. Acting under the provisions of AR-156, Stewards declared correct weight and the Judge’s placings stood.

As the start was affected, OUR BOY GEORGE (R Bradley A) and SAVILLE (L Goodrick) were both a little slow into stride.

CRYSTAL QUI (S Tsaikos) was inclined to lay in shortly after entering the home straight resulting in Jockey Tsaikos having to stop riding and straighten the filly. Thereafter Jockey Tsaikos was able to ride his mount hands and heels. However, Jockey Tsaikos dropped his hands three to four strides from the line and therefore, Stewards advised him of his obligations in that he must ensure that he rides his mounts out fully to the finish on all occasions.

RACE 6 - COLLEX PTY LTD CLASS 4 HANDICAP - 1600 METRES - 15 RUNNERS

Apprentice R Hanby brought to Stewards’ attention the fact that she did not believe she held a firm engagement for STRATHMORE LASS as she had not been advised through her Master and was unaware of her engagement for the mare in today’s event. She further stated that she had been tentatively booked for DONATIVA (NZ) who was the first emergency which subsequently gained a start. After speaking with Trainer Mr R M Worbey, Stewards deemed that Apprentice Hanby did not hold a confirmed engagement for STRATHMORE LASS and advised him that when engaging apprentice riders in the future, he must confirm engagements with the parties prior to declaring riders for his horses.

The announcement of correct weight was delayed as Stewards wished to view the start as to whether I’LL GET BY (L Goodrick) and DONNA MAJELLA (S Snell) were denied a fair start. After viewing the start, Stewards were satisfied that both horses were not denied a fair start and correct weight was declared.

I’LL GET BY (L Goodrick) and DONNA MAJELLA (S Snell) reared as the gates opened and as a result were slow away. I’LL GET BY lost two to three lengths and DONNA MAJELLA lost from one to two lengths as a consequence.

At the point of the turn DONNA MAJELLA (S Snell) rolled out and brushed with CAUSE FOR DIVORCE (J Nevin A).

RACE 7 - SHORELINE HOTEL HANDICAP - 1400 METRES - 10 RUNNERS

Jockey L Goodrick replaced Jockey C Kingston as the rider of OLOKAI. At a subsequent inquiry, Jockey Kingston was reprimanded under AR-120(b) for accepting a ride for which he was later found to be overweight.

The announcement of correct weight was delayed as Jockey D Parish, the rider of the second placegetter TURBULENT FORCE wished to view the official video patrol film. After viewing the film, Jockey Parish advised that she wished to lodge a protest against SILVER LASER (S Snell) being declared the winner on the grounds of alleged interference over final 200 metres. After considering evidence from all the parties concerned and viewing the official Stewards’ patrol films and acting on their own observations, the protest was dismissed. Stewards ordered the Judge’s placings to stand and correct weight was declared. It was established that at approximately the 100 metres, SILVER LASER (S Snell) rolled out under pressure resulting in TURBULENT FORCE (D Parish) being momentarily inconvenienced. However, Stewards were of the opinion that the interference suffered by TURBULENT FORCE did not exceed the margin between the two runners at the end of the race. Therefore, the Judge’s placings stood and correct weight was announced.

Approaching the 600 metres, OLOKAI (L Goodrick) shifted in marginally resulting in TURBULENT FORCE (D Parish) being crowded and taken in on to SILVER LASER (S Snell). Shortly after, SILVER LASER shifted out to improve around CAUSE TO GOSSIP (S Tsaikos), carrying TURBULENT FORCE out on to OLOKAI who was carried wider on the track. In all the circumstances, Stewards decided not to take action against any particular rider, however, Jockey L Goodrick was advised to ensure that she is clear at all times when shifting ground in the future.

A post-race veterinary inspection of THE FLEA (Trainer Royston Carr) revealed that this gelding had bled from both nostrils. Trainer Royston Carr was advised of the provisions of AR-53A (5) in that THE FLEA is now ineligible to start in any race in Australia.

A routine swab sample was taken from the second placegetter TURBULENT FORCE (Neil Richardson).

As the start was affected, BLUE BIALIA (T Atkin) jumped in. At the same time, SHEEDS (J Borrett) jumped out, resulting in both horses being hampered.

MESTINOS (E Chan A) missed the start slightly.

Approaching the 600 metre, MOOFASTA (J Nevin A) shifted ground inwards from an outside position when not a full length clear of TARKINE (S Tsaikos) resulting in that runner having to be momentarily steadied by its rider.

At approximately the 250 metres, MASTER SONAR (K Bandy) shifted out and brushed with PERSONAL PEAK (C Kingston) for a number of strides.

At approximately the 200 metres, Apprentice E Chan (MESTINOS) accidentally dropped his near-side rein and when attempting to re-gather, he allowed his mount to shift ground outwards. Apprentice Chan was shown the incident in the presence of his Master, Mr G White.

The announcement of correct weight was delayed when Jockey S Tsaikos (TARKINE) wished to view the video with a view to lodging a protest. After viewing the video, Jockey S Tsaikos decided against lodging a protest and correct weight was announced.

GENERAL

Apprentices K Cook and R Bradley were examined by the on-course ambulance officers who cleared them to ride at today’s racemeeting.

Stewards received a medical certificate declaring Apprentice E Chan fit to ride at today’s race meeting.

Trainer Mrs Mary Ryan advised Stewards that Trainer Mr Bill Ryan will be acting on behalf of and taking responsibility for her runner, TRUMPED STAR at today’s race meeting.

Just prior to the commencement of today’s racemeeting, an official announcement was made that Apprentice D Pires was incorrectly shown in the racebook as being a nil claiming apprentice when in fact Apprentice D Pires is still able to claim 1.5 kilograms in the provincial area.

After inquiring into a complaint lodged by Jockey D Parish into comments made by Trainer Mr G White, Stewards advised Mr White that in future he is to address his concerns to the Stewards and he is to ensure that any comments made in the mounting yard or public areas are done in a circumspect manner.

Adjourned Inquiry - TRC - Sunday, 9 March 2003

Race 5 - Omega Appliances Class 1 Handicap

Stewards today concluded an inquiry (commenced on 9 March 2003) into the late scratching of ASDIC.

Following this a message was relayed to TOTE control at 9.00 a.m. to advise that the first emergency LADY RUNYON had gained a start in the field. However, it was established at approximately 12.45 p.m. that TOTE control did not have AMELINDA as a scratching and neither did they have LADY RUNYON as a starter. It was also established that on-course Bookmakers had AMELINDA as a scratching and the majority had priced up on LADY RUNYON. In the circumstances Stewards ordered the late withdrawal of both horses. LADY RUNYON was a late scratching at 12.52 p.m. As LADY RUNYON was quoted at 14-1 at the time of scratching, Stewards ordered a refund on all bets struck prior to 12.52 p.m. and a deduction of 6c in the win and 6c in the place. Stewards ordered a refund on all bets struck on AMELINDA with no further deductions. After inquiring into this report it became apparent that there had been a breakdown in communications in relation to this matter.

Stewards questioned Trainer Goggin regarding TRUST FUND’s apparent improved performance today. He stated that in this gelding’s previous start he was trapped wide and was unable to obtain a running position closer to the running rail, today however the gelding was able to lead and this coupled with today’s extra distance in his opinion accounted for the improvement.

RACE 1 - R W TRINDER STEEPLE - 3300 METRES - 6 RUNNERS

The start of Race 1 was delayed due to the non-arrival on course of the second ambulance, required to be in attendance for the steeple race.

Shortly thereafter JACK WILL DANCE (NZ) clipped the heels of KIWI ICON (NZ) (David Keating (a)) and blundered. In the circumstances, after questioning jockey Borrett in relation to this incident, stewards took no direct action against any one rider and considered submissions made by Miss Borrett that her horse had made the turn awkwardly and commenced to lay out. Notwithstanding this fact, stewards reminded jockey Borrett of her obligations when shifting ground.

Approaching the 1100 metre mark REGENT PRINCE (Ernest Chan (a)), when awkwardly placed to the inside of BEBE (Stan Tsaikos), shifted out after being restrained by its rider over the heels of BEBE and in doing so carried METSOLA (Kane Bandy) and CADUCCI (J Borrett) wider on the track.
