Incident Report
Lay in in the Home Straight and near the 150 Metres shifted in after making contact with DECISION LINK. Over the concluding stages CALIFORNIA STAR then raced tight to the inside of RAINBOW SEVEN.

Incident Report
L Hewitson could offer no explanation for his horse’s disappointing performance. Trainer M Newnham advised that he was pleased with the horse leading into the race and stated, in his opinion, the horse may have been disadvantaged by racing to the inside but agreed it had performed below expectation. A veterinary inspection immediately following the race did not show any significant findings. The performance of THOUSAND SPIRIT was considered disappointing as compared to its previous race start. Before being allowed to race again, THOUSAND SPIRIT will be required to perform to the satisfaction of the Stewards in a barrier trial and be subjected to an official veterinary examination. Sent for sampling post-race.

Reared as stalls open, missed break, raced at tail, 9 lengths back, still well back on turn, weakened early in straight. (See Racing Incidents.) (Irregular heart rhythm.)

Incident Report
Prior to declaring weighed-in the Stewards gave consideration to an application from Trainer C S Shum that the horse be declared a non-runner on the basis that it had been denied a fair start. After taking evidence from Mr Shum, Jockey R Kingscote and Starter Mr A Speechley, the Stewards determined that JUBILATION FOR ALL reared simultaneously to the start being effected and on that basis the horse was declared a runner. Accordingly, weighed-in was declared on the numbers semaphored by the Judge. A veterinary inspection immediately following the race revealed that the horse was displaying an irregular heart rhythm and an endoscopic examination also showed a substantial amount of blood in the horse’s trachea. The barrier manners and performance of JUBILATION FOR ALL were considered unacceptable. Before being allowed to race again, JUBILATION FOR ALL will be required to perform to the satisfaction of the Stewards in a barrier trial and be subjected to an official veterinary examination.
