Recap by phillip woo

South Star tracked the speed, hit the front 250m out and kept finding for a first win after catching the eye in two other starts. The three-year-old has the tools to improve and climb higher. Happy Universe ran on well after a rails run from behind midfield to grab second 50m out. It was his best effort from eight starts. Punted late He Was You stuck around for third after leading by five lengths at one point. It was an improved effort on the back of a recent trial win on dirt. Only U ran on well with one wider out to just snatch fourth after making his run six positions back on the fence. It was a better performance on his return to his preferred 1,400m. Draco ran on steadily for fifth after a rails run from midfield. It was another honest effort. Wrote A New Page made some ground late down the outside after sitting just outside and behind Only Un in the run. He hasn't disgraced in any of his three starts. Bling Bling Genius was yielding ground over the final 150m after sitting third in the run from gate nine.

Racing Incident Report

Race Eight : (550) - POLLOCK HANDICAP - Class 4 - 1400Meters



Horse No 1 CAPITAL LEGEND (G333) H Bowman Approaching the 100 Metres was eased when momentarily crowded between CALIFORNIA BLITZ and BLING BLING GENIUS (K Teetan) which shifted in before being corrected by its rider.

K Teetan was reprimanded.

When questioned regarding his riding in the Home Straight and the reason he elected to take a run to the inside of HAPPY UNIVERSE, H Bowman stated that after being taken wider near the 600 Metres when HAPPY UNIVERSE commenced to improve, CAPITAL LEGEND came under pressure and was responding only fairly to his riding at that point.

He said after following HAPPY UNIVERSE into the Home Straight he elected to improve to that runner's inside to avoid having to make more use of CAPITAL LEGEND to continue to shift out.

He added CAPITAL LEGEND commenced to finish the race off reasonably well approaching the 100 Metres before being briefly crowded and its momentum haltered for a short distance.

A veterinary inspection immediately following the race did not show any significant findings.

Horse No 2 ENDUED (K033) B Avdulla Bumped shortly after the start.

Approaching the 1300 Metres shifted in, made contact with WROTE A NEW PAGE and got its head up when being steadied by its rider.

ENDUED then continued to race keenly in the early and middle stages.

Horse No 3 SOUTH STAR (K153) A Atzeni Trainer F C Lor advised that the instructions were to hold a midfield position but SOUTH STAR began well and was able to hold an on-pace position without having to make too much use of the horse to do so.

Sent for sampling post-race.

Horse No 4 RICH HORSE (J191) B Thompson Near the 900 Metres was steadied to avoid THE AUSPICIOUS when racing keenly.

Horse No 5 MAX QUE (J514) L Ferraris Jumped awkwardly.

In the early stages got its head up and raced keenly when being shifted behind runners from the outside barrier.

After the event, L Ferraris stated that from the outside barrier he was obliged to settle back in the field.

He said when the pace in the early stages of the race was run inside of standard time his mount did not travel well and did not finish off when placed under pressure in the Home Straight.

A veterinary inspection immediately following the race did not show any significant findings.

Horse No 6 VIRTUOUS PHANTOM (K147) D McDonogh Jumped only fairly.

After the event, D McDonogh advised that in the Home Straight he was concerned with the action of the horse in front and as a result near the 150 Metres he eased it down from the race.

A veterinary inspection immediately following the race found that horse to be lame in its left front leg.

Before being allowed to race again, VIRTUOUS PHANTOM will be subjected to an official veterinary examination.

Horse No 8 CALIFORNIA BLITZ (J370) M Chadwick Briefly crowded approaching the 100 Metres.

A veterinary inspection immediately following the race did not show any significant findings.
