Incident Report
Badly crowded shortly after the start. L Ferraris pleaded guilty to a careless riding charge for causing interference near the 550 Metres (see FORZA TORO).

When unable to obtain clear running LITTLE PARADISE was steadied to avoid LUCKY PLANET. As a result LITTLE PARADISE then had difficulty obtaining clear running between the 350 Metres and the 200 Metres where it shifted to the inside of SUPER INFINITY. Sent for sampling post-race.

Incident Report
Jumped only fairly and then was bumped by SUPER INFINITY which shifted in. L Ferraris (LITTLE PARADISE) pleaded guilty to a charge of careless riding [Rule 100(1)] in that near the 550 Metres he allowed his mount to shift out when not clear of FORZA TORO, resulting in FORZA TORO being checked to avoid LITTLE PARADISE. In accordance with previous practices, L Ferraris was fined the sum of $120,000 in lieu of a two-day suspension. In assessing penalty, the Stewards determined the carelessness grade 2 and the consequences grade 2 and also considered his good race riding record. Leaving the 400 Metres was steadied to avoid LITTLE PARADISE which gave ground when disappointed for clear running.

Made contact shortly after start, raced 2 wide better than midfield, 3 wide from 700M, took the lead early in straight, kept on very well to the line and scored.

Incident Report
After the event Y L Chung stated that his mount performs best when able to lead. He said given the early stages of the event being run inside of standard time he was unable to do so and this was the reason for the horse not finishing the race off strongly in the Home Straight. A veterinary inspection immediately following the race did not show any significant findings.

Incident Report
After the event K Teetan stated that when he pushed his mount to hold its position near the 1000 Metres he became concerned with its action and when he felt there was something amiss he retired WE CAN PARTY from the event. A veterinary inspection immediately following the race found that horse to have sustained a small laceration to the left hind leg. The performance of WE CAN PARTY, which finished tailed out, was considered unacceptable. Before being allowed to race again, WE CAN PARTY will be required to perform to the satisfaction of the Stewards in a barrier trial and be subjected to an official veterinary examination which must include additional diagnostic assessments.
