Racing Incident Report
Race Eight: (527) - RUBY HANDICAP - Class 3 - 1000Meters
When proceeding to the Start, Z Purton dismounted from BALTIC WHISPER when the horse shifted its left front plate.
On arrival at the Start, BALTIC WHISPER was replated and examined by the Veterinary Officer who said the horse was suitable to race.
POWER MAN was slow to begin.
TOP BEAUTIFUL shifted out at the start and bumped MONEYMORE.
ACE KING began awkwardly, shifted out and bumped JOY MASTER.
In the early stages, MONEYMORE travelled keenly when being steadied in an attempt to obtain cover.
Approaching the 800 Metres, WAYFOONG VINNIE raced in restricted room between HAPPY HAPPY STAR and MEGA HEART.
Approaching the 300 Metres, ACE KING was shifted to the inside of MEGA HEART in an attempt to improve into tight running between MEGA HEART and WAYFOONG VINNIE.
Passing the 300 Metres, ACE KING was steadied when disappointed for running between MEGA HEART and WAYFOONG VINNIE, both of which shifted ground.
After this, ACE KING was shifted back to the outside of MEGA HEART.
Passing the 200 Metres, ROYAL MOJITO momentarily raced tight between MONEY BOY (B Prebble) which got its head on the side and lay out under pressure and HAIR TRIGGER which was being shifted to the inside of TOP BEAUTIFUL to obtain clear running.
HAIR TRIGGER was then momentarily held up for clear running behind TOP BEAUTIFUL when unable to immediately shift to the inside of that horse due to ROYAL MOJITO racing tight to its inside.
In this incident, B Prebble also stopped riding and shifted his mount in to relieve the tightening to ROYAL MOJITO.
BALTIC WHISPER lost its right front plate after the race.
After the race, an endoscopic examination was conducted on MEGA HEART at the request of Trainer C Fownes.
The Veterinary Surgeon reported that this examination showed a substantial amount of blood in the horse's trachea.
Before being allowed to race again, MEGA HEART will be subjected to an official veterinary examination.
A veterinary inspection of HAPPY HAPPY STAR and ROYAL MOJITO immediately following the race did not show any significant findings.
TOP BEAUTIFUL, BALTIC WHISPER and WAYFOONG VINNIE were sent for sampling.
Recap by phillip woo
Baltic Whisper led initially, reclaimed the lead from Dragon Pioneer at the 300m and drew clear to remain unbeaten in two rides under Zac Purton from four starts. Wayfoong Vinnie closed well from behind midfield to grab second at a price. He's capable but is a hard one to get right. Dragon Pioneer kept on reasonably well for a placing after clearing from a low gate to lead at the 900m. He's naturally coming to hand in his six outings. Hair Trigger wasn't able to obtain a crack at them until switching underneath favourite Top Beautiful approaching the 100m following a patient ride third from the rear. Top Beautiful was ridden to hold a spot near the spot in the centre of the course and only held his ground when push came to shove. The longer sprints may suit him better now. My Chance wasn't beaten all that far in the end following a handy run. He had excuses when failing in his 1,200m debut and appears to be heading in the right direction.
