Race Number Race Name Incident Report
Race 1 Meadowset Graphics Sprint - C1 - 318 BIGTIME MOE ran inwards from an outside draw causing tightening to PRINCESS WHALE, GAS GUZZLER and KARAMU THUNDER who lost varying degrees of ground. Shortly after this TONY'S PEDRO received a check when crossed by REVENANT and dropped back throught the field into the bend. On the home bend an improving GAS GUZZLER was checked when looking for room on the inside of WINSOME KELLY and lost his momentum. PRINCESS WHALE was subject to a post race veterinary check that revealed right hind split webbing with a fourteen day stand down recommended.

Race 3 New Zealand Racing Series Heat 2 - NZRSq - 527 Heat 2 RASMAH was a clear last on settling but made ground steadily to pounce on the leaders at the end of the back straight and win convincingly. BENGINEER, BOTANY ADAM and HARAJUKU BOY all came together on the first bend while soon after BIGTIME GEM checked outwards off WILL SHE ECHO and lost ground.

SAMBO WARRIOR received a bump from JET MINT as this runner ran out from the inside with SAMBO WARRIOR dropping to the rear.
