RACE 1 – CASCADE DRAUGHT CLASS 1 HANDICAP - 1600 METRES

LIBERAL LOVER (D Yendall) cast a plate in the mounting yard when the gelding was fractious. As the plate was unable to be re-attached, the plate from the other hind leg was removed and Stewards permitted LIBERAL LOVER to race barefoot behind. A public announcement to this effect was made prior to the start of the race.

IRISH GREY (R McLeod) was fractious in the barriers.

DESERT ROMEO (S Maskiell) stumbled on jumping

I’M A BANDIT (D Pires) over-raced in the early and middle stages.

At approximately the 300 metres, I’M A BANDIT (D Pires) was hampered and had to be momentarily steadied by its rider when TANGLED (S Gates) shifted ground outwards.

At approximately the 200 metres, TANGLED (S Gates) was inconvenienced when STAR OF PERSIAN (GB) (B McCoull) shifted ground outwards under pressure and PARKLEA (C Puls) laid in. As a result I’M A BANDIT (D Pires), which was following, had to change course. Jockeys C Puls and B McCoull were shown the video of the incident and reminded of their obligations when allowing their mounts to shift ground in future.

PARKLEA (Trainer Jim Taylor) returned to scale with blood in both nostrils. The Club’s veterinary surgeon conducted a post-race veterinary inspection and could find no sign of injury. Therefore, Stewards advised Trainer Tim Taylor of the provisions of AR-53A (4) in that PARKLEA may not be trained, exercised or galloped on any racecourse for a period of two months and the mare may not start in any race for a period of three months effective 14/02/2005, whereafter it is to satisfactorily trial over at least 1000 metres in the presence of a Steward.

A swab sample was taken from the winner of the race DESERT ROMEO (Trainer Darryl Howlin).

RACE 2 – SCANIA AUSTRALIA MAIDEN PLATE (3-Y-O & UPWARDS – SET WEIGHTS) 1100 METRES

At approximately the 1100 metres WHISPERING WARRIOR (C Lindop) which was over-racing, had to be steadied off the heels of CORINDHAP (S Hamer A) which shifted ground inwards.

WHISPERING WARRIOR (C Lindop) laid in in the home straight.

CHIEF CITATION (S Gates) was fractious in the mounting yard and proved difficult to lead out on to the track.

When questioned, Jockey D Pires (STATEVAIN) stated that his instructions from Trainer Terry Roles were to lead and that he was of the opinion that the gelding may have placed his tongue over the bit during the race and then tired over the concluding stages. A post-race veterinary inspection of STATEVAIN failed to reveal any obvious abnormalities. Trainer Roles reported that the horse may have “choked down” during the race.

RACE 4 – MARSH CLASS 2 HANDICAP – 1200 METRES

As the start was affected, TALK OF A STAR (J Kehoe) jumped out and made contact with INASNIP (R McLeod).

An inquiry into the reason ASA GREY was hampered shortly after the start was adjourned to a date to be fixed.

Approaching the 1000 metres, BAY ALI (S Maskiell) had to be steadied off the heels of INASNIP (R McLeod) which had rolled in. As a result ISLE OF EASE (D Oakford) became tightened for racing room and had to be checked by its rider. MAXLIN STAR (B McCoull) who was racing to its inside was tightened in on to LAKE DOUGLAS resulting in that gelding being checked. Stewards were unable to establish if any one rider was completely responsible for this incident, however, all riders were reminded of their obligations when shifting ground.

Stewards reprimanded Jockey D Oakford (ISLE OF EASE) under AR-137(a) in that at approximately the 1000 metres when checking his mount over the heels of BAY ALI (s Maskiell), he inconvenienced and bumped heavily with ASA GREY (D Yendall).

The announcement of correct weight was delayed when Jockey S Gates, the rider of LAKE DOUGLAS requested to view the official films with a view to lodging a protest. After viewing the official films, Jockey Gates and Trainer G White declined to proceed with an objection and correct weight was declared.

A swab sample was taken from the winner of the race MAXLIN STAR (Trainer Max Wood).
