Race Number Race Name Incident Report
Race 1 Thedogs.co.nz Sprint - C3 - 318 The favourite KAMACO attempted to run outwards soon after the jump tightening THRILLING ANGUS and RUN OFF ME on her outer. Soon after this KAMACO was dragged down and dropped to the rear. A post race veterinary check of KAMACO revealed muscle bruising with a five day stand down recommended.
Race 2 Rodewald Hart Brown Sprint - C1 - 318 This race was delayed by three minutes at the request of Trackside. In the back straight CAWBOURNE ANN ducked outwards colliding with LUCK NOW JENNI. CAWBOURNE ANN and MUMBLE JUMBLE came together on the home turn when well back. A post race veterinary check of CAWBOURNE ANN revealed no injury.

Soon after this THRILLING DOLL and THRILLING VIRUS came together wider out on the track. A post race veterinary check of SIX PLEASE revealed left hock strain with a seven day stand down recommended.
Race 4 Sister Cities Cup Here 27/9 Sprint - C4/5 - 318 A combination of KING'S CONQUEST running outwards and SWINGING ZORRO running inwards soon after the jump caused tightening to WINSOME JESS who lost ground. She finished well for fifth. KING'S CONQUEST was handy until the home bend when he faltered and dropped back through the field. SWINGING ZORRO lost some momentum when having to change ground to get around KING'S CONQUEST. A post race veterinary check of KING'S CONQUEST revealed a broken hock with the dog being euthanased on humane grounds.
Race 5 $30,000 Pick6 Stakes - C1/2 - 527 MADDER THAN was slow from the inside settling well back but recovered well to win impressively. Into the first bend FANCY GIRL crossed sharply to the rail with SHARMANS MAGIC checking outwards abruptly as result. Consequently this runner came into contact with NEREZZA, KIMMY'S DIVA and ITCHICOO PARK with these runners all losing ground. A post race veterinary check of SHARMANS MAGIC revealed no injury.
Race 6 New Zealand Racing Series Graduation Final - NZRSf - 527 THRILLING TEX hit the rail free of interference on the first bend and somersaulted heavily when hitting the safety fence on the rail. He was caught by veterinarian Joan Hessell who was able to take the dog from the track to prevent further problems. A post race veterinary check revealed torn muscles and severe bruising and he will be xrayed later today for possible fractures. A sixty day stand down was imposed. Dr Hessell is to be congratulated on her quick thinking and actions in this incident. No head on view was available due to technical problems
Race 7 Jack's Wholesale Meats Stakes - C1 - 527 DAPPER and CARMIA MATANNA were both slow to jump. SPINNING COMET was tightened into the first bend and ran out checking YOU CASANOVA and DAPPER. At the entrance to the back straight PERSUASION crossed to the rail in front of SPINNING COMET who was turned sideways and ran out badly checking YOU CASANOVA with both of these dogs losing their chances. A post race veterinary check of SPINNING COMET revealed no injury.
Race 8 The Brownzy Sports Bar Sprint - C4/5 - 318 NATASHA'S DUFFER was forced down to the rail by TO THE CREST into the bend while wider out LOCHINVAR POLO and WINSOME NOVA came together. A post race veterinary check of NATASHA'S DUFFER revealed no injury.
