Racing Incident Report
Race Three: (600)-THE PURVES QUAICH (HANDICAP) (Sec2) - Class 4 - 1400Metres
HOXO was slow to begin and shortly after the start was steadied away from the heels of HEY PRANCER which was taken in by CONFUCIUS SPIRIT.SUM WIN DRAGON began only fairly.
AZTEC EMPIRE and PLENTY OF SPEED bumped at the start.
From the outside barrier, HELLO KIMBERLEY was shifted across behind runners in the early stages.
Approaching the 1200 Metres, AZTEC EMPIRE was awkwardly placed close to the heels of GLACIER BLUE.
Near the 1050 Metres, CONFUCIUS SPIRIT was crowded for room between NEXT JOURNEY and PENNY LANE (N Rawiller) which shifted in before being shifted out to relieve the tightening to CONFUCIUS SPIRIT.
N Rawiller was reprimanded and advised to exercise more care when shifting ground in similar circumstances.
After this, PENNY LANE was left racing wide and without cover.
Approaching the 1000 Metres, HOXO was momentarily crowded for room inside SUM WIN DRAGON which was hampered and shifted in when being steadied away from the heels of GLACIER BLUE (D Whyte) which shifted in when not properly clear.
D Whyte was severely reprimanded and advised to exercise more care.
After the race, an endoscopic examination was conducted on ISLAND GARDEN at the request of Trainer P O'Sullivan.
The Veterinary Surgeon reported that this examination showed a substantial amount of blood in the horse's trachea.
Before being allowed to race again, ISLAND GARDEN will be subjected to an official veterinary examination.
CALIFORNIA CHERISH was unable to obtain clear running until passing the 200 Metres.
GLACIER BLUE and CALIFORNIA CHERISH were sent for sampling.
Recap by phillip woo
Glacier Blue settled behind midfield and one off the rails, swung the final bend with three wider out and finished willingly to take control 120m for an overdue win after seconds in two of three prior starts. California Cherish travelled underneath the favourite, was held up three deep upon straightening until switching inside at the 200m and closed off well to grab second 30m out in an improved run with a drop in class. Sum Win Dragon ran on nicely with two wider out after settling fourth from the rear after a slow break to just nab Island Garden by a whisker for a placing. Island Garden ran on steadily five deep following a one-off run in midfield. King Of Reason enjoyed a soft run on the lead from a wide gate, cornered near three lengths on top and was swamped late for a placing. Plenty Of Speed failed to be a threat in the drive after tracking the leader one off in second. Penny Lane was only one-paced over the final 200m after a handy run without cover. Hoxo made ground after travelling third from the rear following a slow break.
