Race 1 -PAYNESVILLE OLD PUB MAIDEN PLATE 1000 metres:
Acting on a confirmed telephone call from Ms R. Nairn who
was representing Mr Bill Mitchell, trainer of "'GINGER", who stated that
subsequent to scratching time this morning "GINGER" was found to be suffering
from an elevated temperature and was therefore unfit to run, Stewards ordered the
withdrawal of "GINGER " at 8.27 a.m. A Veterinary Certificate in respect of
"GINGER" was submitted to the race Club.

When the gates opened "INQUISITIONAL" jumped away

stopped riding his mount approaching the winning post as he believed he was getting close

that in future he must ride all his mounts out in a manner that leaves no room for query.
