Incident Report
Shifted out abruptly at the start. When questioned, M Chadwick stated that after shifting out abruptly at the start, his mount hung out across the heels of BUNTA BABY near the 600 Metres and as a result was checked and lost ground. A warning was placed on the racing manners of RED ELEGANCE. When questioned regarding his riding in the Home Straight, M Chadwick stated that his mount continued to lay out and proved difficult to fully test. He said as a result over the concluding stages he was unable to ride his mount out with full vigour. The Stewards advised Jockey Chadwick that, wherever possible, he should ensure that he rides his mounts out to the best of his ability. A veterinary inspection immediately following the race did not show any significant findings.

Incident Report
After the event, Apprentice E C W Wong stated that his mount hung out throughout the event and failed to respond to his riding in the Home Straight. When questioned, Trainer D A Hayes stated that he was of the opinion that ALLGREEKTOME would perform well tonight although it had not impressed him when it barrier trialed on the All Weather surface on 19 November 2024. He said as he felt the performance of the barrier trial was due to the All Weather surface, he was of the opinion that ALLGREEKTOME would still be able to perform well tonight. He added that ALLGREEKTOME was disadvantaged by YOUTHFUL SPIRITS showing superior pace in the early stages and the early stages being run inside standard time. A veterinary inspection immediately following the race which included an endoscopic examination showed a substantial amount of blood in the horse’s trachea. The performance of ALLGREEKTOME was considered disappointing as compared to its previous race starts. Before being allowed to race again, ALLGREEKTOME 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.
