Incident Reports

Race Number	Race Name	Incident Report
Race 1	Absolutely Electrical C0 - C0 - 305	GROOVY LEO and SAMY LOUISE were slow to begin and they stayed well back throughout the race. THUNDER TIME, ALL FOR ONE and KNOCKA OFF TIME jostled together for a couple of strides when the start was made but KNOCKA OFF TIME and THUNDER TIME recovered to finish in 1st and 3rd places. ALL FOR ONE was checked going into the bend and lost three lengths and all chance. The favourite FASA MAN led from the start but raced wide throughout covering considerable extra ground and this was probably the difference between winning the race and finishing where he did in 2nd place.
Race 2	Harrison Hire Master C0 - C0 - 520	WESTERLY WIND and TEN POINT ONE bumped together losing a little momentum when the start was made. VERSATILE RICHIE shifted in going to the first corner and tightened HUNTED and GUCCI RUSH which both lost ground with HUNTED the most affected and he went back to the rear. GUCCI RUSH was checked again on the first bend when WESTERLY WIND shifted down to the rail but GUCCI RUSH recovered well to make up ground and finished in 2nd place .
Race 3	J P Print, Petone C0 - C0 - 305	EXPONENTIAL LILY shifted out abruptly from the start and this resulted in a chain reaction of movement which affected HOMEBUSH CORAL, SHOWEM BABY, BREAKTHRU and CRAZY KATIE and they all lost ground and settled back. WORRY WART was away well from the start to be in 2nd position going into the bend but she then began to lose ground and appeared to have an awkward galloping action. WORRY WART finished in 5th place and was referred to the Vet for assessment and cleared of injury.
Race 4	Gary Ross Decorator C1 - C1 - 520	HOMEBUSH STING shifted out from the start and UNO CHARM shifted in and this resulted in OPAWA JEN, PADDY BAXTER and OUR BERNIE which were racing between being hampered and they settled back. OPAWA JEN galloped on the heels of HOMEBUSH STING checking that runner and HOMEBUSH STING lost several lengths and finished in last place.
Race 5	Palamountains Nutrition C0 - C0 - 305	MADDIE BRAND and INTENSE ZOOM began awkwardly losing three lengths. HO HO HO shifted in going into the bend and checked GOMAN NINNIE which lost four lengths and finished in last place. The 2nd placed runner SHEZA WHAT WHAT was observed to turn her head out towards the eventual race winner SEDGEBROOK GLORY for some distance in the home straight and she was referred to the Vet for an assessment , cleared of injury and stood down for 28 days under Rule 80.1 b for failing to pursue the lure throughout.

Race 11	Morrie Gibbons Signs C1 - C1 - 305	HOMEBUSH GRETA was slow to begin losing four lengths. JIMMY JURANTE shifted in going to the first corner and caused tightening and checks to YOUR ON FIRE, GENIA HAKA, HOMEBUSH LIMBO, HOMEBUSH JULIE and ASCHENPUTTEL and they all lost varying amounts of ground with HOMEBUSH LIMBO finishing in last place.
