that REGAL DEMON again wanted to hang in as it was inclined to do at its
previous start in Mackay and that near the 700m POWER PACK had shifted out
in front of him and rather than get pushed too wide around the corner
elected to go back to the fence and save ground. He also stated that when he
wanted to shift to the outside soon after straightening was unable to force
a run when POWER PACK held its ground and was obliged to shift back in to
seek a run. In this incident W.Binder claimed that REGAL DEMON was
accidentally hit over the head on two occasions by the whip of App. L.Attard
the rider of POWER PACK. Trainer R.Adair stated that REGAL DEMON is looking
for more ground and that he elected to start in today's event as there are
no more suitable races in the following two weeks leading up to the Amateur
carnivals in Townsville and Cairns. He also felt that REGAL DEMON might be
suffering some sort of chiropractic problem with its neck, which is why it
has wanted to hang in. Both explanations were noted. A post race vet

Q.T.R.B. BRISBANE OFFICES - 5.8.02: The stewards today continued an inquiry into the analyst's findings in relation to the swab sample taken from TOUCH OF SANITY following that horse's participation at the Ipswich Turf Club meeting on Wednesday, 10 July 2002. At the initial hearing on Monday, 29 July 2002 and at today's hearing, evidence was taken from Ms Susan Searle, the owner and trainer of TOUCH OF SANITY, trainer Mr Colin Shorter and registered stablehand Mr Robert Blue.

Searle pleaded guilty to being in breach of AR. 178 in that she presented TOUCH OF SANITY to race when the said horse was found to have had administered to it a prohibited substance, namely alkalising agents.
