SET WEIGHTS - 1100 METRES - 11 RUNNERS

Trainer Charlie Goggin was charged $27.50 for the use of the Club’s colours on WHISPERING WARRIOR.

The start of this race was delayed slightly due to the start of Race 2 at Penola being delayed.

Jockey S Tsaikos, the rider of IAM IAM, was dislodged after passing the winning post after the saddle slipped sideways in running. The saddle on this gelding was recovered in the presence of a Steward who handed the saddle to the Clerk of Scales and on his return, Jockey Tsaikos was weighed with his saddle and weighed in correctly for this event. He was also examined by the on-course ambulance staff and Club’s doctor (Dr M Loughhead) who declared him fit to fulfill his remaining riding engagements. When questioned, Jockey Tsaikos stated that the saddle started slipping shortly after straightening. Stewards also noted that as a result of his saddle slipping, he was placed at a disadvantage over the concluding stages and he was unable to fully assist his horse in running and consequently did not ride this filly out in his normal manner. Stewards, after viewing the video of Jockey Tsaikos’ fall and after questioning him, concluded that although his skullcap had contacted the surface of the racetrack, it did not sustain a severe impact and in the circumstances Stewards returned his skullcap to him for use.

SAVONNEUX (C Massey) and DIDDLEY SQUAT (R Bradley A) were slow away, losing one to two lengths at the start. Thereafter DIDDLEY SQUAT (R Bradley A) shifted in abruptly at about the 900 metre mark and contacted the inside running rail.

Approaching the 600 metre mark HEKATE (K Bandy) was awkwardly placed on the heels of WHISPERING WARRIOR (S Maskiell) and MALLOW (B McCoull) for a short distance.

MALLOW (B McCoull) and IAM IAM (S Tsaikos) brushed for a short distance at about the 200 metre mark when both horses shifted ground.

WHISPERING WARRIOR (S Maskiell) laid in throughout in the straight despite the efforts of its rider, shifting ground inwards and brushing with DREAM RACER (P Michaelides) at about the 150 metre mark. Shortly thereafter at about the 50 metre mark, WHISPERING WARRIOR again shifted in and contacted with DREAM RACER to its inside.

A post-race veterinary inspection of SAVONNEUX (Trainer Peter Geeves) failed to reveal any obvious abnormalities.

A routine swab sample was taken from the third placegetter IAM IAM (Trainer Royston Carr)

RACE 3 - CASCADE BREWERY MAIDEN PLATE - 3YO & UPWARDS

SET WEIGHTS - 1400 METRES - 15 RUNNERS

Approaching the 1200 metre mark OUR DASHING DANE (P Michaelides) who was racing ungenerously, shifted ground inwards. As a result THE MAYOR’S DREAM (C Kingston) shifted in away from this gelding and contacted with STRAIT RAIDER (K Cook)

PINTERRY MORGAN (R Hanby A) and SECRETARY LADY (D Parish) were slow into stride.

At about the 800 metre mark PINTERRY MORGAN (R Hanby A) was awkwardly placed on the heels of runners in front, then shifted in slightly and contacted with SECRETARY LADY (D Parish).

A swab sample was taken from the winner of the race CHERRY WILD (Trainer Charlie Goggin).

RACE 4 - CASCADE TASMANIAN DEVILS CLASS 1 HANDICAP

1600 METRES - 13 RUNNERS

Stewards granted permission for Jockey Tsaikos to ride EBONIZE (Trainer Peter Luttrell) one kilogram above the weight allotted to this mare. In coming to this decision Stewards considered a submission by Jockey Tsaikos and advised him that the indulgence granted on this occasion should not be seen as a precedence for the future.

The start of this race was delayed for some five minutes when HEARTLESS (P Michaelides) reared after being placed in its barrier stall and broke through the front gates and cantered down the back straight. Thereafter HEARTLESS was caught by the Clerk of the Course at the top of the home straight, returned to the barriers where the gelding was inspected by the Club’s Veterinary Surgeon and passed fit to take its place with the field. HEARTLESS again proved fractious after being loaded into its barrier stall and as a result the front gates opened again. Stewards advised Trainer McShane that a warning had been placed on this gelding’s barrier manners.

The announcement of correct weight was delayed when Jockey C Burt, the rider of LANGKAWI (C Burt) and Trainer John Blacker wished to view the video of the concluding stages of this event with a view to lodging a protest. After viewing the video, both Jockey Burt and Trainer Blacker decided against proceeding with a protest. It was established that MIDNIGHT ESCAPADE (S Maskiell) shifted ground inwards under pressure over the concluding stages and in doing so carried SQUIRE MOOR (B McCoull) inwards. As a result of this inward movement, LANGKAWI became slightly crowded for galloping room.

Shortly thereafter SQUIRE MOOR continued to shift ground inwards slightly which again inconvenienced LANGKAWI who had to be steadied by its rider.

A swab sample was taken from the second placegetter of the race HEARTLESS (Trainer W N McShane).

RACE 5 - CASCADE CLASSIC (LISTED) TWO YEAR OLD - NO CLAIMS

SET WEIGHTS - 1400 METRES - 10 RUNNERS

At about the 1000 metre mark, GEHENNA (B McCoull) shifted out and contacted with RADAR ROCKET (S Gates). Shortly thereafter, GEHENNA shifted in slightly onto MISTERO (D Parish) who shifted in slightly as a consequence, resulting in ROYAL RELAY (P Michaelides) rolling in and away from MISTERO (D Parish) and crowding TOM’S TOP (D Pires A) to its inside. As a result FINE OMENS (S Maskiell) who was following had to be steadied by its rider.

Rounding the home turn, at approximately the 450 metre mark, FINE OMENS (S Maskiell) was held up for a clear run for a number of strides.

Swab samples were taken from the winner of the race GEHENNA (Trainer John Blacker), the second placegetter FINE OMENS (Trainer Charlie Goggin) and the third placegetter TOM’S TOP (Trainer Charlie Goggin).

RACE 6 - CASCADE PREMIUM HANDICAP - 1400 METRES - 12 RUNNERS

Jockey S Tsaikos (DISGUISE THE EYES) was dislodged from this gelding en route to the barriers. He was examined by the on-course ambulance staff at the barriers and passed fit to ride. DISGUISE THE EYES was inspected by the Club’s veterinary surgeons and passed fit to take its place with the field. A public announcement to this effect was made prior to the start of the race.

CORINDHAP (S Gates) was slow away, losing a length at the start.

Approaching the 1100 metre mark DISGUISE THE EYES (S Tsaikos) was awkwardly placed on the heels of MATRIX HUTNER (S Maskiell) and had to be steadied when the pace appeared to slow slightly in front. As a result DISGUISE THE EYES contacted with the inside running rail, shifted out and inconvenienced QUI LADY (C Kingston) to its outside who had to be steadied by its rider when this mare was awkwardly placed between DISGUISE THE EYES and FEMME BUISSON (L Goodrick)

DEI GRATIA (C Burt) over-raced in the early and middle stages of the event.

QUI LADY (C Kingston) had to be steadied, just prior to the winning post, off the heels of ARR DEE BEE (K Bandy), which rolled out marginally.

RACE 7 - CORAL SEA CLASS 4 HANDICAP - 1100 METRES

10 RUNNERS

Stewards granted permission for Jockey S Tsaikos to ride STRATHMORE LASS (Trainer R M Worbey) one kilogram above the weight allotted to this mare. In coming to this decision Stewards considered a submission by Jockey Tsaikos and advised him that the indulgence granted on this occasion should not be seen as a precedence for the future.

MAPS (C Burt) was slow away.

MESTINOS (S Gates) reared as the start was affected and as a consequence lost some ground.

Approaching the 800 metre mark DAUBERWIN (D Parish) shifted in and carried LITTLE PORKIES (NZ) (C Kingston) inwards. As a result MESTINOS (S Gates) had to be steadied to the inside of these gelding. Jockey D Parish was shown the video of the incident and reminded of her obligations and to ensure that she allows sufficient room in future when shifting ground.

Jockey D Parish, the rider of DAUBERWIN reported at scale that, in her opinion, this horse choked down in running. A post-race veterinary inspection of DAUBERWIN (Trainer Neil Richardson) failed to reveal any obvious abnormalities.

A post-race veterinary inspection of STRATHMORE LASS (Trainer W M Worbey) failed to reveal any obvious abnormalities.

A swab sample was taken from the winner of the race HE’S QUICK (Trainer W N McShane).

RACE 8 - CASCADE TASMANIAN TIGERS CLASS 2 HANDICAP

1400 METRES - 15 RUNNERS

SIR RODGER (T Wong A) jumped out at the start onto ALVA (K Bandy). As a result MASTER SONAR (S Gates), which was a little slow away, had to be steadied off the heels of ALVA. Shortly thereafter, ALVA became buffeted between SIR RODGER and BEAR’S SCENE (K Sanderson) when both these runners shifted marginally.

Rounding the turn at the 600 metre mark, SHINING OCHRE (C Massey) shifted outwards slightly and carried SANDANONA (C Burt) and DEVON RELAY (C Kingston) wider on the track.
