Incident Reports

Race Number Race Name Incident Report
Race 1 Super Pets Dash - C3 - 295 DOGGER BANK was last to jump. KNOX ran outwards soon after the jump and this combined with LES HART moving inwards meant that HOMEBUSH NICK and the favourite CAWBOURNE DUSTY were tightened and lost ground. Into the bend LES HART was dragged down by HOMEBUSH NICK with these runners dropping to the rear and CAWBOURNE DUSTY receiving another check. A post race veterinary check of LES HART revealed no injury. OSWALD BOATENG was observed to be favouring a leg following the race with a post race veterinary check revealing no injury. Bruce Dann the trainer of the winner KNOX was questioned in regards to the improved performance of this dog. He stated that he was very surprised with the win after the dog had trialled ordinarily earlier in the week but his favoured inside draw had been to the dog's advantage.
Race 2 Angler's Arms Tavern Sprint - C4 - 295 GEORGIE LEE was the slowest to jump. Into the bend BENJI LAFOURCHE ran outwards coming together EXCITING KYLE and HOMEBUSH HELEN with these runners losing ground.
Race 3 Thursday Place Pick Sprint - C3 - 295 AKAISHA BALE, TRILOGY SERIES, CAWBOURNE SHOT and KILKENNY were all slow away. Into the bend an improving TRILOGY SERIES ran inwards and tightened HOMEBUSH TIME, OLD MATE DAVE and the favourite ROMBERG LASS all of whom lost ground with KILKENNY having to run wide to avoid these runners.
Race 4 Apatchie Jet At Stud Stakes - C2 - 520 STATE DA OBVIOUS was very awkwardly away from the inside and lost his chance. A post race veterinary check of this dog revealed a groin strain with a seven day stand down recommended.
Race 5 Amber Cleaning Services Sprint - C5 - 295 NOBLE ENFORCER ran inwards from its outside draw soon after the jump and caused carnage with the favourite CAWBOURNE OCKY, BOTANY ZENA, HOMEBUSH BAKUGAN and DEMOGRAPHIC all being badly tightened and losing ground. Into the bend CAWBOURNE OCKY checked outwards into the path of BOTANY ZENA who ran outwards. DEMOGRAPHIC was unable to avoid this runner and fell. He regained his feet and completed the race with a post race veterinary check revealing a small nick to a leg but no stand down was recommended. Trainer Rosemary Blackburn advised Stewards that the dog would be sent for a brief spell.
Race 6 I Pave Concrete Stakes - C5 - 520 CAWBOURNE INDY ran inwards in the run to the first bend and crossed MAINLAND STAR with that runner dropping to the rear. TIAN HAO SURFER checked outwards on the first bend and lost ground.
Race 7 Canteen-Supporting Young Kiwis Living With Cancer Dash - C5 - 295 MISSYS DAUGHTER was last to jump. In the early stages CAWBOURNE LISA and ANOTHER GON came together with KNOW JOY in the middle being checked and losing ground.
Race 8 Garrard's Horse And Hound Feature - SPECA - 520 Favourite GEOFF THE REF and KNOW PERIL were the last to jump. EMIE ROSE wanted to run outwards into the bends hampering GEOFF THE REF with these two runners remaining rearwards throughout.
Race 9 racingdogs.co.nz Sprint - C5 - 295 UNO HARRIET, FIREMANS SALUTE and CAWBOURNE LORNA were tightened in a keenly contested run to the first bend settling well back. CALLAHAN ran outwards approaching the home turn forcing BUSINESS TIME over extra ground. BUSINESS TIME ran on well for a close third.
Race 10 Funny Girl NZ Bred Distance Heat - SPECAdq - 645 Heat 1 ARCHIES JET was last to jump. SOFIAS GIRL ran outwards on the first bend checking the favourite SPEED TICKET with these runners settling at the rear. SPEED TICKET was then held up on the final bend before running on late for fourth.
Race 11 Katz 'n K9z Stakes - C3/4 - 520 KNOW WHICH and SHAKEY BAKE were slow to jump. GUTTER BLACK ran inwards in the early stages and collided with HOMEBUSH FRASER who ran outwards. WEONA DARLING also wanted to run outwards contacting HOMEBUSH FRASER who lost ground. Into the first bend ULTIMATE SPICE ran outwards pushing REDDY BOY and KNOW WHICH wider around that bend. KNOW WHICH did well to make ground for second.
Race 12 Speight's Dash - C4 - 295 WHERES JOHN CEE and ONE COOL CAT were slow to jump. Into the bend SHARI JEWEL, WHERES JOHN CEE and SAFE AND SECURE were tightened and lost ground with BOTANY KELLY receiving a check wider out and dropping to the rear. Trianer John McInerney when questioned in regards to the improved performance of the winner ANOTHER LEGIN told Stewards that he expected a big run at Forbury on Tuesday but the dog fell and that the fall had not harmed the dog thus he was not surprised with today's win.
