Racing Incident Report
Race Seven: (418) - ORCHID HANDICAP - Class 4 - 1200Meters
CALIFORNIA LEVEE, which kicked a rail when leaving the Parade Ring, was examined by the Veterinary Officer on arrival at the Start and passed suitable to race.
ATHENA began very awkwardly, shifted out and bumped the hindquarters of SPONTANEOUS, causing both horses to become unbalanced.
UNIVERSAL CROWN was crowded for room on jumping between SPONTANEOUS and SILVERY WARRIOR which began awkwardly and shifted in.
APEX TOP and WHISKEY NEAT bumped at the start, causing APEX TOP to shift in and bump ROMANTIC TROVE.
CALIFORNIA LEVEE and TELECOM ROCKET bumped at the start.
Then, after being ridden along for a short distance, CALIFORNIA LEVEE was shifted across behind runners.
Making the turn after the 600 Metres, CHEEKY PRAWN, which was having its first race start, was reluctant to maintain its position between ATHENA and TELECOM ROCKET despite being ridden along.
Passing the 100 Metres, APEX TOP, which was weakening, momentarily raced in restricted room between INNO LEGEND and SILVERY WARRIOR.
Throughout the race, APEX TOP travelled wide and without cover and in the Straight gave ground.
A veterinary inspection of INNO LEGEND and APEX TOP immediately following the race did not show any significant findings.
STOCK LEGEND, SPONTANEOUS and ROMANTIC TROVE were sent for sampling.
Recap by phillip woo
Spontaneous just held on for the win after surging to the lead near the 200m following a dream run in the box seat. It was a great training feat first run back following a tendon injury. Romantic Trove was making ground with every stride to finish a close second following a one-off run better than midfield. He's a winner waiting to happen. Favourite Stock Legend came up one-paced ridden along from a wide gate to stalk the speed 800m out. He might be better ridden more conservatively in the run. Telecom Rocket ran on reasonably well to fill the frame after settling midfield and one off the fence with cover from a wide gate. He rarely produces a bad run at either track up to a mile. Universal Crown ran on well from towards the rear to just miss a spot in the first four. He's run to the line with merit in two of three starts this term. Cheeky Prawn made some ground without menacing after settling fifth last in the run. It wasn't a bad run on debut but he'll need more time and experience. Whisky Neat was yielding ground 150m out after rolling forward to lead 950m out from a tricky gate. He needs a stronger rider.
