Incident Reports

Race Number Race Name Incident Report
Race 1 STREETS ICE CREAM DASH - C0 - 318 Farmer John was the quickest to jump and although challenged for the lead the entire journey by Opening Time, held on to the line. Wee Silver Hawk, the reserve from box 5, was slow to start, moved over to the rail, then moved out into shoulder contact with Sister Stamp and Real Silence - all such dogs being affected in their progress, albeit that they were all towards the rear at the time. No 5 Educating Archie (DL Anette). Rule 259 - toe dislocation. Stand down 10 days to 15.01.04. VC held.
Race 2 THE OASIS BAR STAKES - C0 - 527 Sharabang, the reserve from box 5, following a slow start, came into shoulder contact with Bozo Fulton then ranged wide and remained towards the rear throughout, tailing the field home. Miss Speedy Web moved down the track inner to take over from the pacemaker, Spooky Fella, and held on strongly. No 5 Miss Tracey Lee (PW Cleaver). Under stand down from AGRC meeting on 04.01.04.
Race 3 MEADOWSET GRAPHICS DASH - C1 - 318 Tap To It jumped swiftly and raced away from the field for an easy victory.
Race 4 ROYAL WOLF CONTAINERS STAKES - C1 - 527 The favourite, Mean Tyler, weaved through the field from midfield at the bottom of the back straight then bolted away effortlessly to record a winning margin in excess of 7 lengths. Ewan Jake tailed off early and never improved, loping in a distant last. No 1 Flash Mistress (JB Hastie). Under stand down from AGRC meeting on 04.01.04. No 5 Bazil's Token (W Steele). Rule 259 - strained calf muscle. Stand down 30 days to 03.02.04.
Race 5 COCA-COLA DASH - C1 - 318 Bally Angel showed early speed before Flash Tyler went to the front and held impressively from that point. Kiwi Fire jumped on terms with the field but was then squeezed for racing room as Dr Ricardi took his path at the same moment that Over Step moved off the rail. Kiwi Fire dipped badly and only just scrambled to stay afoot, being out of contention from there. .
Race 6 PETWARE C2 SPRINT FEATURE #1 - C2 - 318 Race clear. No 3 Hot Discovery (B Hughes). Rule 329 - torn nail. Stand down 7 days to 13.01.04. VC held.
Race 7 TINT-A-CAR STAKES - C2 - 527 The field bunched tightly at the first bend - Splicklez flared wide as a consequence and remained wide throughout the running. Hostile Gesture finished strongly down the track outer to take a close decision. World Priority was checked in the middle stages and did not feature in the finish. No 5 Twilight Lane (FD Farmer). Under stand down from W & D GRC meeting on 02.01.04.
Race 8 PETWARE C2 SPRINT FEATURE #2 - C2 - 318 Waitak Attack was the first to break the line but held the lead only momentarily until Miss Vegi Web burst away from the field in the run to the line. Waitak Attack and the favourite, Shar Nazir, were in running shoulder to shoulder contact after the jump, Shar Nazir moving off the rail on the inner of Waitak Attack - Shar Nazir drifted back from that point and did not feature in the finish.
Race 9 CAROL'S TAB DASH - C4/5 - 318 The field tightened at the the first bend with Stock Broker coping well with the squeezing he was subjected to before he stepped clear and after disputing lead with Macain, kept his momentum to reach the line first.
Race 10 RADIO PACIFIC STAKES - C2/3 - 527 The favourite Clock Stopper moved off the rail into the path of a bunched field approaching the first bend - particularly impacting on the paths and chances of Dr Bertram and Gold Jed. Kemsley Park was also adversely affected, having started from box 8, and being forced even wider from the first bend. Graeshar's Boy, the early leader, was gathered in by Wyuna Red Leg - that dog then holding to the line from a fast finishing Melina Bale. No 8 Mac Whisky (M Earley). Under stand down from AGRC meeting on 04.01.04.
