Incident Reports

Race Number	Race Name	Incident Report
Race 1	Welcome To Cambridge Raceway Sprint - C1 - 375	THRILLING CUBA was checked as CAPTAIN CARLOS crossed him into the bend. He recovered well to finish second.

Race 2	Tamahere Stakes - C1 - 457	All clear.
Race 3	Tauwhare Sprint - C2 - 375	THRILLING CATCH was awkwardly away from the outside box running on well to dead heat for fourth.
Race 4	Protector Safety Stakes - C2/3 - 457	In a roughly run race CAWBOURNE FORCE firstly ran inwards checking CAWBOURNE SERENE in the early stages then into the bend was keen to get out and checked VIVALDI ROAD on its outer. BULLISH MEGASTAR was badly checked at this stage dropping to the rear before running on again for fifth. PAYNEFUL TRUTH was also inconvenienced at this point. On the home turn CAWBOURNE SERENE checked off the heels of PAYNEFUL TRUTH losing ground.
Race 5	Superior Chunky Dog Rolls Dash - C3 - 375	TERROR JIM was checked as STREET TALL crossed quickly to the rail into the bend. TERROR JIM hit the running rail at this stage but battled well for its second placing. A post race veterinary check of TERROR JIM revealed no injury. Soon after this incident MOHICAN HARRY and DEVILS MARBELS lost ground as a result. On the home turn DEVILS MARBELS and KERRIE'S FANTASY came together losing ground. The lure driver experienced difficulties with vision during this race due to torrential rain on her window. As a result the lure at times was a bit further in front of the field than normal. However after watching the replay the Stewards were satisfied that no runner appeared to be substantially disadvantaged and authorised payout.
Race 6	Raglan Sprint - C5 - 375	CAWBOURNE RAY was very slow to jump settling last. On the home turn the leader NATIONAL DEBT ran wide losing some ground but once straightened went to the line well to win.
Race 7	Interislander Dash - C4 - 375	CAWBOURNE CROWN was last away but made ground well for third. CAWBOURNE BESS ran wide on the bend and lost ground. ZENSU dropped to the rear before the bend and was never in contention remaining last. A post race veterinary check revealed no injury.
Race 8	TAB Pump & Automotive Stakes - C5 - 457	SARAH"S POWER attempted to jump the rail after thirty metres and fell to the inside of the track. A post race veterinary check revealed a compound fracture of the left front radius and ulna with an eighty day stand down recommended. The connections advised that the dog would immediately be taken to a veterinary surgeon with the hope that she can be saved for breeding. At the end of the back straight RASMAH eased out of the race and failed to complete the course. A post race veterinary check revealed no injury. RASMAH was stood down for 28 days under Rule 80.1.b. and must undertake a satisfactory trial.
