RACE 2: HUMIDIMIX MAIDEN H'CAP - 1313M.
On returning to scale A Gillett rider of the 3rd horse ARAKHAN lodged an objection against SAMSUN (J Hoopert) being declared 2nd for alleged interference leaving the 800m. After hearing evidence from riders, connections and viewing of the film, stewards dismissed the objection as they were of the opinion that ARAKHAN contributed to the incident by shifting away from SAMSUN when tightened for room by that horse. At a subsequent inquiry it was established that SAMSUN (J Hoopert) whilst racing greenly shifted in tightening the running of ARAKHAN, which made contact with the running rail. BEECIES GOLD, which was racing behind ARAKHAN, shifted out abruptly when it struck the heels of ARAKHAN. J Hoopert was subsequently reprimanded for tightening the running of ARAKHAN. J Hoopert was advised that stewards took into account that his mount was racing greenly leading up to the incident.
PIQUANTE and FLOODED CREEK were slowly away.
ARAKHAN jumped awkwardly.
Leaving the 1100m PIQUANTE was inclined to race ungenerously whilst pulling hard.
Near the 850m ARAKHAN was momentarily crowded for room by SAMSUN, which shifted in whilst racing greenly.
Leaving the 800m FLOODED CREEK was eased when crowded for room by RURAL RED, which rolled in momentarily.
Time off 4.39 pm.
RACE 3: FERAMO CLASS 1 H'CAP - 1012M.
Stewards withdrew INTREPID PATH at 5.22 pm when it broke through the barriers and completed a circuit of the track whilst riderless. Deductions on all win bets were paid less 10 cents in the $1 win and 10 cents in the $1 place. Trainer M Nolan was advised that INTREPID PATH is required to barrier trial to the satisfaction of stewards prior to its next start.
TIGER MALT and FAIR RALEIGH were slowly away.
Leaving the 800m CROWN APPROVAL was tightened for room by ROYAL CARTOOSH, which was taken in by PITTAPADDY (P Moodie). Shortly after FAIR RALEIGH and NED'S GAME were severely hampered between PITTAPADDY and ROYAL CARTOOSH, which shifted out to relieve the pressure to CROWN APPROVAL. Stewards were of the opinion that FAIR RALEIGH, which was pulling hard had contributed to the incident by improving between NED'S GAME and ROYAL CARTOOSH where there was insufficient room. P Moodie was reprimanded for permitting his mount to shift in when not clear of ROYAL CARTOOSH.
Time off 5.23 pm.
