Trainer A. Nagadoo failed to present his horse MYSTERY CACHE timeously in the parade ring, he was reprimanded and advised to ensure that he presents his runners in the parade ring at least 12 minutes before the starting time of the race. RAINWATER was slow to begin and failed to muster speed when urged forward in the early stages.
MYSTERY CACHE when leaving the gates, jumped awkwardly and shifted ground inwards and brushed LE QUARTIER, thereafter, commenced to race fiercely threw its head when restrained and raced wide until passing 1000m. CAPTAIN'S CONSORT jumped outwards and over-raced in early stages and when being settled, got his head up. LE QUARTIER jumped and shifted sideways shortly after the start. On leaving the 1200m, CAPTAIN'S CONSORT raced fiercely and approaching the 1000m was momentarily awkwardly placed close to the heels of LE QUARTIER.
Approaching the 600m, LE QUARTIER had to be checked when crowded for room off the heels of MYSTERY CACHE which shifted grounds inward. An inquiry was held into this incident. Apprentice C. Goolgar was charged with a contravention of Rule 43.2.2 in that he failed to ensure that he did not cause interference to LE QUARTIER passing the 600m by shifting inwards when insufficiently clear resulting in LE QUARTIER having to be checked. He was found guilty as charged and suspended from riding in races for two race meetings.
