1 J039  ARMOUR WAR EAGLE  29/03/2026   563  ARMOUR WAR EAGLE (J039) raced ungenerously in the early stages when being shifted across behind runners from a wide barrier. After improving to the inside of a runner after the 600M then became unbalanced when racing tight to the inside of that runner. Near the 200M was steadied when disappointed for clear running. Rider stated that after being steadied near the 200M his mount finished the race off fairly thereafter. Post-race vet inspection did not show any significant findings - Race 563.

3 J143  GIANT LEAP  25/03/2026   551  GIANT LEAP (J143) after travelling a short distance made contact with a runner when racing tight. Rider stated that his mount jumped only fairly and he was then obliged to make use of it in the early stages to go forward in accordance with his instructions. He said when caught wide in the early stages he had to continue to make use of the horse to obtain a position outside the lead and as a result in the Home Straight his mount was left without a finishing effort. Post-race vet inspection did not show any significant findings. Performance was considered disappointing as compared to its previous race start. Has since performed to the satisfaction of the Stewards in a barrier trial and passed an official vet exam - Race 551.

2 K016  GOOD LUCK BABE  01/04/2026   567  GOOD LUCK BABE (K016) near the 50M was bumped. When questioned regarding the riding tactics adopted, particularly the middle stages of the race, rider explained that his instructions were to go forward if not lead. He said he was able to do that without putting his mount under too much pressure in the early stages. He added that from the 1200M he was aware that his mount commenced to increase the tempo, however, he was not in a position to restrain his mount any slower as the more he tried to the more his mount resisted his efforts. When it was explained that the sectionals between the 1200M and the 800M were run well inside standard time rider acknowledged that he was aware his mount was going too quickly. He further added that if he tried to go for another hold with his reins the situation would have only worsened given his mount was still very keen. He said as a result of that his mount was under pressure from the 200M. Trainer confirmed the instructions and was of the opinion that the horse was unable to run out the 1650M and would place the horse back to the 1200M at its next race start where it is likely that the horse would settle better in its races. Post-race vet inspection did not show any significant findings - Race 567.
