Racing Incident Report

Pla. Horse No. Horse Incident
1 1 ROMANTIC WARRIOR (E486) Near the 500 Metres was steadied and shifted to the inside of MONEY CATCHER to improve into clear running. Sent for sampling post-race.
2 2 VOYAGE BUBBLE (E436) Lay in in the Home Straight. Sent for sampling post-race.
3 8 NIMBLE NIMBUS (E249) Kicked a rail in the saddling stalls, examined by the Veterinary Officer and passed suitable to race. Jumped awkwardly.
4 3 STRAIGHT ARRON (G435) No report.
5 10 FIVE G PATCH (G286) No report.
6 4 BEAUTY JOY (E058) Got its head up in the early stages when being shifted across behind runners. Leaving the 500 Metres improved into a narrow run between FIVE G PATCH and CHAMPION DRAGON and made contact with CHAMPION DRAGON.
7 6 ENCOUNTERED (G236) No report.
8 9 SENOR TOBA (G103) Slow to begin and then was crowded shortly after by SWORD POINT. Checked at the 1500 Metres. Was obliged to race wide and without cover for the majority of the event.
9 5 SWORD POINT (G448) A veterinary inspection immediately following the race did not show any significant findings.
10 11 CHAMPION DRAGON (G070) Near the 1500 Metres STRAIGHT ARRON was steadied in an endeavour to obtain cover behind ENCOUNTERED. When STRAIGHT ARRON remained in a three wide position to the outside of ENCOUNTERED, CHAMPION DRAGON was checked to avoid the heels of STRAIGHT ARRON and as a result became unbalanced. SENOR TOBA, which was following, was checked as a consequence. After considering all the evidence, the Stewards found that the pace of the event easing slightly during that section of the race and STRAIGHT ARRON being steadied at that stage were the principal reasons for CHAMPION DRAGON having to be checked and therefore H Bowman was advised that he should exercise more care when performing similar manoeuvres in future. Bumped near the 500 Metres. After the race, A Badel stated that his mount failed to show sufficient pace in the early stages to hold a more forward position.
11 7 MONEY CATCHER (G171) After the race, L Ferraris reported that he had some concern with his mount’s action behind when it commenced to give ground in the Home Straight and therefore he did not ride it out to the finish of the event. A veterinary inspection immediately following the race did not show any significant findings. The performance of MONEY CATCHER was considered unacceptable. Before being allowed to race again, MONEY CATCHER will be required to perform to the satisfaction of the Stewards in a barrier trial and be subjected to an official veterinary examination.
