Recap by phillip woo

Galant Rock kept finding to draw clear after being gifted an easy time on the lead two off the stands side carrying a feather weight despite a return to Class Three. Winfull Patrol sat just behind the leader to his outside and kept grinding away to finish a clear-cut second. Favourite Dragon Master closed off well to snare third after being held up for a clear run until the 300m following a grandstand run beyond midfield. Dragon General plugged away to just miss a placing after a prominent run one off the outside fence. Fortune Bo Bo only held his ground when restrained at the start following a decent break travelling midfield near the far side from a low gate. Both Lucky made some ground without menacing after travelling three off the stands side behind midfield. Lucky Celebrity recovered after copping a bump at the break to travel underneath Dragon Master in the run and came up empty when popped the question 300m out. Mr Right wasn't able to respond following a midfield run on the far side and was eased down 150m out. Easy Touch was gone 400m out after travelling up on the speed after travelling up on the speed in the middle of the course.

Racing Incident Report

Race Seven: (674)-EAGLE'S NEST HANDICAP - Class 3 - 1000Metres

As the tongue tie worn by ACTUARIAT was not able to be applied in the Parade Ring due to the horse being fractious, this gear was fitted to the horse on arrival at the Start.

On arrival at the Start, it was noted that DRAGON GENERAL had lost its left front plate.

After this plate was refitted, DRAGON GENERAL was examined by the Veterinary Officer who said in his opinion it was suitable to race.

SHIMAL began only fairly.

HAPPY GAINS shifted out at the start and bumped DRAGON GENERAL which in turn was taken out onto LUCKY CELEBRITY.

Near the 950 Metres, DRAGON MASTER shifted towards the outside rail and became unbalanced of its own accord.

Approaching the 900 Metres, LUCKY CELEBRITY was steadied after racing tight outside DRAGON GENERAL (O Bosson) which shifted ground when being ridden along.

O Bosson was reprimanded and advised to ensure that he leaves comfortable racing room for his fellow riders in similar circumstances.

After the 900 Metres, EASY TOUCH raced tight outside FORTUNE BO BO which initially shifted out and then was taken out by MR RIGHT which got its head on the side and hung out.

EASY TOUCH lost its left front plate near the 850 Metres.

Approaching the 800 Metres, EASY TOUCH was awkwardly placed inside the heels of GALLANT ROCK.

Passing the 800 Metres, FORTUNE BO BO got its head up on a number of occasions when proving difficult to settle.

Approaching the 700 Metres, GALLANT ROCK shifted in marginally, resulting in EASY TOUCH shifting in away from that horse, causing FORTUNE BO BO to be crowded for room outside MR RIGHT which continued to race with its head on the side and lay out.

After the 300 Metres, HAPPY GAINS shifted in abruptly after momentarily racing in restricted room between BOTH LUCKY and DRAGON MASTER.

After the race, N Callan stated that whilst LUCKY CELEBRITY finished back in the field, the horse was first up today not having run since early December last year.

He said he had ridden LUCKY CELEBRITY in some of its track work in the lead up to today's race and he believed the horse's fitness would be improved following this race.

A veterinary inspection of LUCKY CELEBRITY immediately following the race did not show any significant findings.

Following the race, it was reported that SHAMAL was displaying post-race distress.

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

A veterinary inspection of EASY TOUCH immediately following the race did not show any significant findings.

Before being allowed to race again, EASY TOUCH will be subjected to an official veterinary examination.

DRAGON MASTER, GALLANT ROCK and WINFULL PATROL were sent for sampling.
