Incident Report
Slow to begin.

He said this resulted in him not being able to fully test CALIFORNIA MOXIE towards the finish. Notwithstanding his explanation, the Stewards advised B Avdulla that wherever possible he should ensure that he fully tests his mounts to the finish of the event.

Incident Report
Bumped near the 200 Metres. After the event, Z Purton stated that his mount travelled satisfactorily during the race and after initially providing some response to his riding in the early part of the Home Straight commenced to give ground after the 200 Metres. Trainer W K Mo advised that he had been pleased with FORERUNNER leading into today’s race but could offer no explanation in respect to its disappointing performance. A veterinary inspection immediately following the race did not show any significant findings. The Stewards determined the performance of FORERUNNER to be disappointing as compared to its previous race starts. Before being allowed to race again, FORERUNNER will be required to perform to the satisfaction of the Stewards in a barrier trial and be subjected to an official veterinary examination.
