Racing Incident Report
Race One: (807) - THE PEARCE MEMORIAL CHALLENGE CUP (PLATE) - Class GRIFFIN - 1200Meters
FOREVER FRIENDS bumped the outside of its stall on jumping and began awkwardly.
OUR PRECIOUS began only fairly and at the 1050 Metres was shifted out away from the heels of LEAN HERO which shifted out.
Then for some distance after the 900 Metres, OUR PRECIOUS was awkwardly placed behind HAPPY WON.
Shortly after the start, INSPIRING CITY got its head up when being steadied to obtain cover, made the turn near the 900 Metres awkwardly and then lay out rounding the Home Turn.
SUPERB MOVE was steadied in the early stages and shifted across behind runners.
Z Purton was fined the sum of $10,000 for striking HAPPY WON with the whip when unsaddling that horse after the race.
FOREVER FRIENDS and HAPPY WON were sent for sampling.
Recap by phillip woo
Three-year-old Forever Friends held off a stern challenge from favourite Happy Won over the final 200m after poking his head in front 250m out following a pace-stalking run for a second-up win. Happy Won had his chance but couldn't quite match the winner in the drive to the wire after drawing nearly level 200m out following a one-out, one-back run. He's run well in both starts and has the tools to get away with a race or two next season. Lean Hero ran on nicely to finish a close third after a box-seat run. It was an improved effort with a step up to 1,200m at his second start. Joyful Champion weakened over the last 100m after dictating a slow tempo from gate one. He'll need more time and experience. Punted late Inspiring City ran on without menacing after over-racing at the rear of the field. He wasn't suited by the pace of the race. Our Precious came to win the race 300m out travelling midfield but peaked on his run 100m out. He'll need more time. Superb Move never landed a blow making his run towards the rear. He hasn't shown much in his four starts and the future does not look bright at the moment.
