Rule 64.12. 7 days up to and including 9 February 2009.
Race 2 MATANGI MAIDEN - C0 - 457 CAWBOURNE BOTROS was badly tightened soon after the jump and dropped to the rear. As he improved he got on the back of MYREEN with these dogs losing more ground and tailing the field. A post race veterinary check of MYREEN revealed no injury.
Race 3 TAMAHERE DASH - C1 - 375 TOTAL INFERNO was held up for room in the run to the bend. He ran on for fifth when clear.

Race 7 RAGLAN SPRINT - C3 - 375 Into the bend HISTORY NEVER ducked outwards sharply possibly because of NATIONAL DEBT crossing quickly from an outside draw. This caused HISTORY NEVER and ZAMBORA MAN to fall and CYCLONE PRESTO, THRILLING BEAU and STREET TALL to be checked out of the race. Unfortunately there was no head on view available so it was impossible to confirm exactly what occurred. Post race veterinary checks were carried out on ZAMBORA MAN and HISTORY NEVER that revealed no injuries.
Race 8 HAUTAPU SPRINT - C2 - 375 THRILLING NATH was a shade slow from the outside but quickly accelerated around the field to hit the lead into the bend, tightening AGENT WHALE, WILD FLYNN and CENTRAL CYRUS as he crossed the field.
