Race 1 - Rangedale Plate - 2500 metres:

Jumivag - rider Luke Currie reported the gelding raced keen early and in his view may be at

the end of its preparation.

Au Revoir (IRE) - weakened from the 400m; rider Beau Mertens reported that it did not suit

his mount when being taken on for the lead mid-race. A post race veterinary examination

revealed the horse to be lame in the off foreleg and will require a veterinary clearance prior to

racing again.

Archean (USA) - connections advised would be ridden more forward; settled mid-field.

Grand Dreamer - began awkwardly.

Lahqa - weakened from the 250m; rider Dylan Dunn could offer no explanation for the

performance. A post race veterinary examination failed to reveal any abnormalities.

Caprese - rider Damien Oliver explained he was obliged to go forward when caught wide in

the early stages however overall was disappointing and could offer no excuse other than the

gelding had come to the end of its preparation. A post race veterinary examination revealed a

slower than normal recovery and co-trainer Mr Troy Corstens confirmed the gelding would

now be spelled. A swab sample was also taken for analysis.

Race 3 - Dr Sheahan Plate - 1200 metres:

racing.

Motown Lil - over-raced through the early stages.

Dezuri - raced three wide without cover.

Monkey Magic - led and weakened from the 300m. When questioned regarding the tactics

adopted today, in particular from the 800m when his mount raced one horse off the fence,

rider Damien Oliver explained that his assessment of the track and the manner in which it

played in earlier races, he was of the opinion the track was racing superior wider out and

therefore it was a conscious decision by him to remain off the fence. He added it was not his

intention to lead but was left with no other option after jumping well and confirmed his

assessment of the track and his intentions with the connections prior to the race. He was also

of the opinion the filly was up in class today. The instructions were confirmed with trainer

Mrs Wendy, Kelly who added that the filly is not one that can be restrained and that track

bias had been discussed pre-race. After viewing the Stewards footage, Mrs Kelly indicated

that given all the circumstances she was satisfied with the ride and the filly would now be

spelled. Stewards noted that the first 600m was run in 37.8 seconds, as opposed to the last

600m being 35.5 seconds. A post race veterinary examination failed to reveal any

abnormalities.

Race 5 - Essendon Nissan McKenzie Stakes (Listed) - 1200 metres:

Throssell - underwent a veterinary examination after arriving on course and was passed

suitable to race.

Verstappen - raced wide without cover. Rider Damien Oliver could offer no explanation for

the performance, which was below market expectations. A post race veterinary examination

revealed the colt to be lame in the off foreleg and will require a veterinary clearance prior to

racing again.

Kens Dream - rider Dean Yendall dropped his off side rein near the 50m.

Baffert - post race endoscopy detected a degree of mucus that may have affected the colts

racing performance and will require a veterinary clearance prior to racing again. Trainer Mr

Mick Price advised the colt may now be gelded and will be spelled.

Race 6 - Mayoral Charity Community Handicap - 2040 metres:

Lucques - underwent a veterinary examination behind the barriers after knocking its off hind

leg on the gate leaving the mounting yard and was passed suitable to race.

Golden Mane - slow to begin and was then inconvenienced by Tooleybuc Kid, which was

taken out by Yulong Baby. Rider Regan Bayliss stated his mount may be at the end of its

preparation. A post race veterinary examination failed to reveal any abnormalities.

Yulong Baby - had to steady shortly after the start to avoid the heels of Bold Sniper (GB)

which shifted out and away from Pin Your Hopes (NZ). Held up for several strides near the

300m.

Bold Sniper (GB) - tightened and checked near the winning post on the first occasion.

Cooldini - raced three wide without cover.

Tooleybuc Kid - performed below market expectations; rider Craig Williams could offer no

explanation and a post race veterinary examination revealed a slower than normal recovery.

Chris Symons (Lucques) - pleaded guilty to a charge of careless riding under the provisions

of AR137(a), the carelessness being that near the winning post on the first occasion, he

permitted his mount to shift in when not fully clear of Bold Sniper (GB) resulting in Bold

Sniper (GB) being tightened for room and having to be checked. Chris Symons had his

licence to ride in races suspended for a period to commence at midnight August 20th

and to

expire at midnight August 27th

, a total of seven race meetings (two metropolitan, five

provincial). In assessing penalty Stewards took into account his guilty plea and that the

carelessness was in the low range.

veterinary examination failed to reveal any abnormalities.

Race 9 - William Hill Handicap - 1200 metres:

Le Bonsir - connections advised would be ridden forward; settled mid-field and raced wide

without cover throughout. When questioned regarding the tactics apprentice Beau Mertens

explained he understood the instructions to be that whilst he was told to go forward from the

barrier, that mid-field with cover would have been a satisfactory position. He added he was

unable to carry out those instructions without causing interference and hence raced wide

without cover.
