Racing Incident Report

ROYAL PRINCE, which was fractious in its stall, began awkwardly and stumbled. Shortly after the start, SURVEY SURVEY lost its position when awkwardly placed between AMBITIOUS GENERAL and MY CHOICE. Making the turn at the 800 Metres, SURVEY SURVEY was steadied when awkwardly placed inside SUNNY KING which got its head on the side and shifted in away from POCKET MONEY. Near the 600 Metres, SURVEY SURVEY was checked away from the heels of SUNNY KING which was checked away from the heels of AMBITIOUS GENERAL. When questioned Mr J Moore, trainer of JOYFUL WINNER, said he had a discussion with the owner of the horse who expressed disappointment that when being ridden in a rearward position as is usual in recent races JOYFUL WINNER whilst closing off strongly had failed to win. He said it was therefore decided that with JOYFUL WINNER returning to handicap conditions in today’s race and carrying a large weight, the horse should be ridden further forward than is usual in a midfield position. He said JOYFUL WINNER began well and was ridden along for a short distance in an endeavour to carry out the riding instructions, however, travelled in front of midfield because of the manner in which the race was run. He said JOYFUL WINNER travelled a little keenly in the race and as a consequence failed to finish off as hoped. Mr Moore was also questioned regarding ABLE ONE. He said he confirmed when the horse last raced it was anticipated the race would be run at a strong tempo and because of this the instructions were to ride the horse in about a midfield position. He said that race was run at a much slower than anticipated tempo and consequently ABLE ONE travelled slightly further back than he had hoped, proved difficult to settle, in the Straight hung in as it has done previously and was disappointing. He said today he consulted Z Purton, the rider of ABLE ONE, as to how he thought the horse would be best ridden. He said it was decided from a more favourable draw ABLE ONE would be best suited ridden in a forward position possibly behind the lead. He said ABLE ONE began well and when DOWN TOWN did not cross, he was able to maintain the rail in the lead. He said the middle sections of the race were run at a tempo to suit ABLE ONE and as a consequence of this and also that the horse was racing on the rail, it was able to kick strongly in the Home Straight. He said of the stable’s four runners in the race ABLE ONE was not considered to be in the top two chances and he was somewhat surprised by today’s performance. Mr Moore was advised his explanations would be reported. When questioned regarding the performance of POCKET MONEY, F Coetzee said he was satisfied with the position his mount obtained in the run from the outside barrier. He said however POCKET MONEY which was racing first up today from a lengthy spell travelled more keenly than is usual and as a consequence failed to finish the race off. He added whilst POCKET MONEY has shown some wet track form in the past the horse did not appear to handle the conditions of today’s track. O Doleuze (EGYPTIAN RA) said he was instructed to lead on the horse, however, if other runners were intent on leading, he should ride the horse where it was comfortable. He said EGYPTIAN RA began awkwardly and bumped the inside gate of its stall. He said after this he allowed EGYPTIAN RA to travel forward, however, did not ride along vigorously given that the horse has a history of over-racing. He said after the 1000 Metres he believed he would have been required to make use of EGYPTIAN RA to cross to the lead and therefore he steadied his mount to travel in a three wide position without cover just off the pace. He said he commenced to ride EGYPTIAN RA along making the Home Turn, the horse immediately commenced to hang in and gave ground. He said EGYPTIAN RA raced “flat” today. EGYPTIAN RA was sent for an official veterinary inspection. A veterinary inspection of EGYPTIAN RA after the race did not show any significant findings. POCKET MONEY, ABLE ONE and MY CHOICE were sent for sampling. After the race, it was reported BULLISH CASH had lost its left front plate.
