Incident Reports

Race Number	Race Name	Incident Report
Race 1	Super Pets Sprint - C3 - 295	DYNAMIK SPIRIT was slow in the early stages. Racing into the first turn ANOTHER COFFEE received a check and lost ground when crowded for racing room between GOT THE JUICE and EL MAESTRO. As a result of this interference both WHERES JOHN CEE and DYNAMIK SPIRIT were hampered. Stewards sent both EL MAESTRO and AS FAR AS for post race Veterinary examinations due to these dogs falling at the lure. No abnormalities were detected on either dog.
Race 2	Carol's T.A.B. Dash - C4 - 295	WEONA DARLING and OPAWA COLLAR came together on several occasions between the jump and the turn. OPAWA COLLAR was held up at the back of the field on the bend when looking to race wider on the track. ZEBiDIAH was taken wider on the track prior to entering the final straight by COOL JORDIE which was inclined to run outwards.
Race 3	Thursday Place Pick Dash - C3 - 295	LES HART shifted down the track straight after the jump and caused significant crowding to all inside runners. On the turn OUT BY FIVE which was looking to get wider on the track shifted outwards and caused interference to both LES HART and BENNYS ANGEL.
Race 4	O'Sheas Public House Sprint - C4 - 295	Due to HOMEBUSH MAYHEM shifting down the track in the early stages ANOTHER LEGIN was crowded down onto KNOW ATTENTION with both of these dogs losing momentum. TEPIRITA TIKI had to check wide off the heels of ANOTHER LEGIN on the bend and as a result caused a check to DONT FORGET JET. TEPIRITA TIKI and DONT FORGET JET continued to bump on several occasions at the back of the field when leaving the turn. A post race Veterinary examination requested of TEPIRITA TIKI revealed the dog had sustained a dew claw laceration. Accordingly a 10 day stand down was imposed under Rule 82.1.
Race 5	Garrard's Horse & Hound Sprint - C5 - 295	THEOKOLES was slow to begin. HOMEBUSH SARGE shifted down after the start and checked FIREMANS SALUTE, CAWBOURNE LEVI and to a lesser extent THEOKOLES.
Race 6	Kolorful Kanvas Stakes - C4 - 520	RED LABEL PENNY was slow in the initial stages. Racing into the first bend BASILIO BALE which was looking to get down to the rail caused considerable tightening to THRILLING SADIE which lost ground and was dictated inwards onto RINGOS COLT who was also taken down the track onto WATERVIEW LASS which also lost ground.
Race 7	Borat At Stud Sprint - C5 - 295	JUMPIN JULIA and KNOW ADVANTAGE were crowded in the early stages when COOL CHARMER and KNOW ADVANTAGE both shifted ground restricting the racing room available to these dogs. HOMEBUSH LIGNITE and COOL CHARMER were both checked and lost ground on the turn when PRETTY GOOD which was improving wide around the field moved down causing tightening.
Race 8	Buy Sell & Exchange Distance Feature - C2d - 645	After exiting the second turn FELIXSTOWE which was to the outside and jostling for position with UNION STREAM shifted down causing this dog to be checked. AWESOME BENDER which was trailing these dogs also received a considerable check and both of these dogs lost ground.
Race 9	I Pave Concrete Stakes - C3 - 520	TAKE NO PRISONER, MISS IRON FIST and MAINLAND STAR were all checked and lost ground when crowded for racing room between EMILY and MOLLY PAISLEY racing towards the first turn.
Race 10	Yaldhurst Tavern Stakes - C4/5 - 520	ALISARAY began awkwardly. MAXIMUM JEWEL found itself in tight quarters when racing to the inside of SAM I AM into the first turn. MAXIMUM JEWEL to avoid further tightening was forced to check outwards and in doing so contacted KNOW SPUNK, which along with ALISARAY and KING OF CLUBS, was already racing in restricted room due to MAGIC LASS shifting down the track. KNOW SPUNK, ALISARAY and KING OF CLUBS all lost ground in this incident.
Race 11	Jet Pets Dash - C5 - 295	KYANN immediately shifted down the track causing interference to WANDY BOILER, KNOW TRUST and LADAKH. KNOW TRUST and NIPPA MARY were both held up on the final bend. In order to gain clear running both dogs checked outwards causing them to lose momentum. WANDY BOILER received some interference as a result.
Race 12	Speight's Sprint - C4 - 295	ETCHED IN STONE and ANYTIME WILL DO bumped in the run to the bend. BOTANY ZENA checked outwards off the heels of OBSESSED on the bend and lost ground. The muzzle slipped the nose of ETCHED IN STONE and hung about its head for the duration of the race. After reviewing the films it was deemed the muzzle had come off after being boxed but prior to being released. The muzzle was inspected by Stewards and found to be of a satisfactory order.
