Incident Reports

Race Number Race Name Incident Report
Race 1 Welcome to Cambridge Raceway Dash - C2 - 375 BARALLEN and NEW MONIA were both tightened into the bend with NEW MONIA losing ground. THRILLING FORCE was held up in behind these runners and lost momentum. NEW MONIA ran outwards as a result and got on the back of THRILLING DOLL who lost her chance finishing last. Post race veterinary checks of THRILLING DOLL and NEW MONIA revealed no injuries.
Race 2 Matangi Maiden - C0 - 375 BLUE STRATA and CENTRAL SKIP were both slow to jump. Into the bend PEPPER LAW was tightened and came back on SURFER FOOT who fell and BLUE STRATA who was checked out of the race. On the home turn UTAR JET checked outwards off the back of BERN'S BUNNY and lost many lengths. UTAR JET made ground late for fifth. A post race veterinary check of SURFER FOOT revealed no injury.
Race 3 Tauwhare Dash - C1 - 375 DURHAM ASSASSIN and WINSOME FREDDY came together into the bend. On the home turn MISTY VELVET and WINSOME FREDDY came together and lost ground. One of the favourites DURHAM ASSASSIN overcame that early check to race around them into the lead half way down the straight weakening in the final stages to run a close third. A post race veterinary check revealed no injury. The racing manners of DURHAM ASSASSIN will be closely monitored in his next few starts.
Race 4 YGOT Bonus Scheme Sprint - C4 - 375 DARK FANCY was tightened in the early stages settling well back. On the first turn BOTANY ADAM ran out slightly and bumped I'M A FOOL who ran outwards and lost many lengths.

Race 6 0800 4Down Cow Stakes - C1 - 457 Favourite NO HELP INDEED was last to jump but put in a sterling performance to get up and win. FREE COPY was shunted outwards by JELLYSTONE PARK at the end of the back straight and lost ground.

Race 9 Superior Chunky Dog Rolls Sprint - C5 - 375 DARK CAVALIER was last away but looped the field on the home turn. It and BLACK MOON came together on the home turn but DARK CAVALIER proved too strong.
