2 K266  MASTER CHAMPION  07/10/2026   83  MASTER CHAMPION (K266) when questioned regarding her riding out over the concluding stages rider stated that after placing her mount under full pressure with the whip her mount commenced to finish the race off well. She said approaching the finish of the event her mount shifted in towards a runner and as she was concerned her mount would make contact with that runner and potentially cause interference she desisted from riding her mount with the whip and as a result she did not fully test the horse out to the finish of the event with full vigour although she was able to continue to encourage her mount to the end of the race. After considering the evidence the Stewards accepted the explanation of the rider, however, she was warned that in similar circumstances she should demonstrate to the Stewards with her concern by straightening her mounts rather than desisting from using the whip - Race 083.

11 K099  KING ALLOY  24/06/2026   801  KING ALLOY (K099) rider stated that his mount may not have appreciated the step-up in grade. Post-race vet inspection did not show any significant findings. The next day was reported to be lame in its right front leg. Has since passed an official vet exam - Race 801.
12 L175  MAPOGO  07/10/2026   83  MAPOGO (L175) when questioned rider stated that his instructions were to go forward and attempt to lead as his mount races best in that position. He said from the outside barrier he rode his mount along in the early stages to comply with those instructions but was unable to cross a runner when that runner remained three deep. He said approaching the first turn near the 600M he continued to ride his mount forward as he had anticipated that runner crossing which would allow him to obtain a position one off the rail. He said when that runner did not show sufficient pace to cross runners to its inside that resulted in his mount being obliged to race very wide and without cover for the majority of the event. Trainer confirmed the instructions issued. Having regard to his explanation and the sectional times of the event which identified the race being run near standard time the Stewards found the tactics adopted by rider were reasonable in the circumstances – Race 083.
