At approximately the 200 metre mark GENTLE BEN (Kasey Boxall (a)) made the crossing awkwardly and blundered, shifted ground inwards abruptly and brushed the running rail, unbalancing Apprentice Boxall.  LITTLE ROBO (Stephen Maskiell) had to be steadied by its rider at this stage.

Jockey B McCoull (CHRONOMETER) stated that the mare travelled well down the back straight but failed to respond to vigorous riding and the conditions of today’s track may not have been favourable and as the mare had not started in 9 months, may have been in need of a run.

GENERAL

Stewards concluded an inquiry from TTC – 19 December 2004 – Race 8 – Kevin Sharkie Class 2 Handicap.  Jockey Troy Atkin (BORN A QUEEN) was found guilty under AR 137(a) careless riding in that at approximately the 150 metres he allowed his mount to shift ground inwards when insufficiently clear of MONEY MAGNET (David Sparks).  As a result MONEY MAGNET appeared to clip heels and fall.  Jockey Atkin’s licence to ride in races was suspended for a period of two Tasmanian race meetings from midnight 9 January 2005 until midnight 23 January 2005.                   

Steward inquired into a complaint from Jockey Kane Bandy into his belief that he had a confirmed riding engagement on CHARDERE (Trainer Darrel Baldock) in Race 8 – Devonport Cup.  After taking evidence from Trainer Darrel Baldock, Jockey Kane Bandy and Jockey Simon Snell it was unable to be established whether an engagement had been made and as a result Stewards were of the opinion that no riding fee was applicable.
