Racing Incident Report
Race Three: (60) - THE NATIONAL DAY CUP (HANDICAP) - Class G3 - 1000Meters
Approaching the 750 Metres, LITTLE GIANT was momentarily eased away from the heels of RATTAN (C Schofield) and shifted to the inside of that horse as a result of RATTAN shifting out when not quite clear.
JOLLY BANNER, which was following LITTLE GIANT, was inconvenienced in consequence.
C Schofield was advised to ensure that he is properly clear when shifting ground.
After the 300 Metres, WISHFUL THINKER had some difficulty obtaining a clear run and passing the 250 Metres was shifted to the inside of RATTAN to improve.
Then after the 100 Metres, WISHFUL THINKER lay in which resulted in GUNNISON being awkwardly placed inside that horse near the 50 Metres.
After the race, C Schofield stated that, in his opinion, RATTAN did not appear to appreciate the "Good to Firm??racing surface today as the horse did not finish off the race strongly carrying 132 lbs.
A veterinary inspection of RATTAN immediately following the race did not show any significant findings, however, the horse was unable to be scoped due to being fractious.
A veterinary inspection of SAUL'S SPECIAL immediately following the race did not show any significant findings.
FULL OF BEAUTY and JOLLY BANNER were sent for sampling.
Recap by phillip woo
Favourite Full Of Beauty just held on for the win after dashing to the front at the 200m following a far side run two from the back after a slow start. He's very exciting and will be a key player in the major sprints this term. Jolly Banner was coming on strongly with every stride to make it close after a patient ride at the rear of the field. It was another great run by the eight-year-old over the minimum trip. Wishful Thinker might have toppled them if not held up for a run from the 280m to 150m following a prominent run on the stands side. Gunnison kept on reasonably well to hold off Little Giant for fourth after pressuring Rattan for the lead. He rarely produces a bad run and can bob up at any moment in a Class One on either surface. Little Giant kept plugging away without menacing after over-racing a bit early on behind the leaders. Rattan faded after dictating the run. He'll need to stick to a longer trip. Saul's Special was simply outclassed.
