Incident Reports

Race Number Race Name Incident Report
Race 1 Otago First 4 - C0 - 310 From the jump BLUE RAGE ran inwards from the outside box and severely checked the running of the favourite ANY BAD HABITS who tailed off and then ran wide on the turn to finish at the rear.
Race 2 Paws Inn Boarding Kennel Sprint - C0 - 310 THRILLING PEACH was very slow to jump. On the turn OZARK'S COVER ran outwards and forced THRILLING PEACH and SHEAZ COOL ONE wide on the track.
Race 3 Brocklebank Dry Cleaners Stakes - C0 - 545 KICKING HORSE and REAL SLIM SHADY were tightened soon after the jump and collided into the first bend. KNOW TRUTH ran wide around the first bend taking SLENDER CHANCE with him. RULEBOOK RAY who was handy early drifted down the back straight to finish 7th. Co trainer W SMITH was questioned regarding the dog's performance. He advised that it was the dogs first start on the track and he probably did not handle the loose surface. He had expected him the run well given his recent Addington performances.
Race 4 Green Island Barber Sprint - C1 - 310 MUSTARD FUDGE was slow to jump and when improving into the bend checked out off BARBER'S GIRL colliding with BABA GANOOSH on his outer. SURFIN' BIZAAR was tightened into the bend by ASTRO DAVE before checking outwards. Into the home straight BARBER'S GIRL and SURFIN' BIZAAR came together.
Race 5 Hammond Kennels Sprint - C1 - 310 In the run to the bend ODI JAY moved away from the rail tightening COT CASE CUTIE who was forced out onto GUNNA SMOKE and SILENT STRYKER who were both checked. SILENT STRYKER tailed the field home and a veterinary check revealed bruising to the left hind with a 5 day stand down recommended.
Race 6 St Kilda Tavern Stakes - C1 - 545 PRETTY GIRL was tightened in the run to the first bend. Into the back straight HANDSOME HAND ran outwards taking PARANOVA and CAWBOURNE SNEAKY wide on the track.
Race 7 Forbury Stakes - C1 - 545 AKAISHA BALE ran out around the first bend forcing MR BONZALES over extra ground.
Race 8 A.F Johnston Electrical Far South Challenge - C5q - 545 Heat 1 DELUSHIONIST ran in after jumping tightening SENSATIVE HARRY and CAWBOURNE BOLT.
Race 9 Hill Kennels Sprint - C3 - 310 LOTTO LEO was slow to jump. Into the bend PURA LADY ran outwards checking HOMEBUSH BEST and CAWBOURNE HAPPY. Soon after HOMEBUSH BEST ran inwards causing CAWBOURNE SCAREY to check out and collide with LOTTO LEO.
Race 10 A.F Johnston Electrical Far South Challenge - C5q - 545 Heat 2 TRICKY SHELLEY ran out after the jump checking SMASH MCCOY. Into the first bend OPAWA SECRET moved away from the rail as ROCKABYE LAD drove to the lead from his outside draw, resulting in TRICKEY SHELLEY being tightened coming back on ST.WILD with SMASH MCCOY running wide to avoid these dogs. Soon after KNOW QUESTION checked out of the heels of TRICKY SHELLEY and collided with WANDY HAKA.
Race 11 Presidents Sprint - C1 - 310 As the lure approached the boxes, the inside of the box lids opened. When the lids released MULBERRY KING in box 1 had forced part of his body through the side of the opened lids and stumbled on jumping when the lids released. The race was declared a No Race by Stewards in accordance with Rule 76.1. Inquiries with the Club Curator by Stewards revealed the arm mechanism that secures the lids in place to have worked free thus allowing the inside portion of the lids to twist out of line. The mechanism will require replacement before next weeks meeting.
Race 12 Brian Bagley Driver Licensing Stakes - C2 - 545 Into the first turn QUETEE JEWEL crossed over from the outside and forced TIJAN back into the path of GENISTA SUMMER and LOU BALE with these three dogs losing ground to finish back in the field.
