TROUBLE IN RUNNING

SPEEDY SMARTIE (H108) from the outside barrier was shifted across behind runners in the early stages. Prior to declaring weighed-in, rider and trainer viewed the patrol films to ascertain if there were sufficient grounds for a protest/objection following the horse being checked over the concluding stages. When they declined to lodge a protest/objection and the Stewards were satisfied that there were not sufficient grounds to do so, weighed-in was declared on the numbers semaphored by the Judge. Over the concluding stages was checked - Race 252.

EVER SMART (J179) approaching the 1000M lay in and away from a runner - Race 232.

FLYING DRAGON (E360) was fractious in the barriers prior to the start being effected and as a result jumped awkwardly and lost ground. For some distance approaching the 500M raced tight. Near the 200M was steadied when momentarily crowded. After the event, rider reported that after missing the start and settling further back in the field his mount found it difficult to make up ground over the concluding stages. Post-race vet inspection did not show any significant findings - Race 262.

SUPER CHARIZZARD (J184) jumped awkwardly and shifted out abruptly - Race 260.

WOOD ON FIRE (C460) on the Home Turn was held up for clear running and on straightening near the 300M shifted out, resulting in its rider becoming unbalanced - Race 218.

FAIRY HORSE (J144) fractious in the barriers, jumped only fairly. After the event, rider reported that after beginning only fairly, his mount then commenced to race keenly and making the first turn was checked away from a runner. He said as a consequence his mount finished the race off only fairly in the Home Straight. Post-race vet inspection did not show any significant findings - Race 232.

SPEEDY CHARIOT (H193) shifted out at the start and was bumped. Raced wide and without cover from the 600M - Race 232.

TIMESTORM (G109) post-race vet inspection did not show any significant findings - Race 251.
