Recap by phillip woo

Turbo Jewellery was perfectly positioned three back and one off the rails from a perfect draw, rounded the final bend six deep, worked to the front 100m out and just held off Full Glory by a bob of heads for an overdue win after several huge runs in defeat from tough alleys. Fully Glory was restrained to settled fourth along the rails at the 1,450m after leading early on, got shuffled back to midfield coming to the final bend behind the tiring France Valour, rallied to briefly poke his head in front four deep at the 50m and lost in a ding-dong finish. He's ready to win. Plunged late, Happy Rocky settled one off the rails worse than midfield, swung the final bend outside Turbo Jewellery and kept grinding away to make it close at the wire. Late-fancied favourite, So Caffe settled third from the rear, angled into the clear with three wider out upon straightening and ran on steadily to just edge out Industrialist Way for a Quartet spot.

Racing Incident Report

Race Three: (655)-MR MEDICI HANDICAP - Class 3 - 2000Metres

FULL GLORY and HAPPY ROCKY were crowded for room on jumping between TURBO JEWELLERY and SO CAFFE, both of which shifted ground.

As the start was effected, INDUSTRIALIST WAY lifted its front feet off the ground and began only fairly.

FULL GLORY lost its left hind plate in the early stages.

Passing the 1800 Metres, THE SYLPH got its head up on a number of occasions when proving difficult to settle.

At the 1500 Metres, HOLMES LEGEND was taken wider by INDUSTRIALIST WAY which shifted out away from the heels of THE SYLPH.

Near the 800 Metres, FULL GLORY shifted out away from the heels of FRANCE VALOUR when travelling keenly.

Passing the 700 Metres, AMBITIOUS CHAMPION was checked and lost ground after improving into tight running inside FULL GLORY (G Mosse) which then shifted back in marginally when awkwardly placed close to the heels of THE SYLPH.

G Mosse was reprimanded and advised that whilst there were some circumstances to this incident, nonetheless he would be expected to ensure that he makes every endeavour to prevent his mounts from shifting ground and causing interference to other runners.

When AMBITIOUS CHAMPION was checked, SERGEANT TITANIUM was checked out away from the heels of that horse in consequence, resulting in SO CAFFE being crowded for room inside WRATH OF FIRE.

BEST SHOW was also inconvenienced in this incident.

FULL GLORY was held up for clear running rounding the Home Turn and in the early part of the Straight.

Near the 75 Metres, HAPPY ROCKY was shifted out away from TURBO JEWELLERY which shifted out marginally under pressure.

When questioned, N Rawiller stated that he had been asked to ride HOLMES LEGEND behind midfield from barrier 10 if possible.

He said HOLMES LEGEND began better than expected and he immediately commenced to take hold of his mount in order to shift across behind runners.

He said INDUSTRIALIST WAY, which was drawn immediately inside HOLMES LEGEND, began only fairly and then took a considerable time to muster speed and because of this he was not able to immediately steady HOLMES LEGEND and shift across behind that runner, this resulted in HOLMES LEGEND being left racing in a forward position in the early stages which had not been anticipated.

He added he was also left racing wide passing the winning post on the first occasion and near the 1700 Metres steadied his mount in order to obtain a position behind INDUSTRIALIST WAY.

He said he was not able to bring HOLMES LEGEND back behind that horse prior to SUPREME FRESH improving its position to be racing inside HOLMES LEGEND.

He said therefore he was obliged to let SUPREME FRESH to improve its position and he was able to obtain cover behind that horse after the 1200 Metres but was still left racing wide.

A veterinary inspection of HOLMES LEGEND immediately following the race did not show any significant findings.

When questioned regarding the disappointing performance of SERGEANT TITANIUM, J Moreira stated that despite being ridden along in the early stages, his mount did not show any early speed and consequently was required to race further back in the field than had been hoped.

He said SERGEANT TITANIUM travelled satisfactorily in the early and middle stages, however, lost momentum when having to be checked away from the heels of AMBITIOUS CHAMPION after the 700 Metres.

He said it was at this stage that other runners were improving into the race and not being able to improve at this time meant that SERGEANT TITANIUM was going to find it difficult then to finish off the race.

He added SERGEANT TITANIUM gave him a limited response when placed under pressure rounding the Home Turn, however, was disappointing in its failure to close off the race over the concluding stages.

A veterinary inspection of SERGEANT TITANIUM immediately following the race found the horse to have sustained a small wound to the right front leg, however, an endoscopic examination was not able to be conducted due to it being fractious.

A veterinary inspection of AMBITIOUS CHAMPION immediately following the race revealed the horse to have sustained minor lacerations to both front legs.

Before being allowed to race again, AMBITIOUS CHAMPION will be subjected to an official veterinary examination.

SO CAFFE, TURBO JEWELLERY and FULL GLORY were sent for sampling.
