McMahon) and had to be checked. LASS EE then commenced to race ungenerously for some distance after.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                          Near the 400m UNE ROSE blundered, causing the rider's right foot to slip out of the iron, resulting in the rider becoming unbalanced and placing him at a disadvantage for a short distance.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                          LASS EE shifted out under pressure over the concluding stages.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                          Trainer R. Mackay was questioned regarding the racing manners of LASS EE in that the mare commenced to race ungenerously in the middle stages when being steadied. Mr Mackay was unable to offer any tangible explanation and was advised that a warning would be placed on the horse's racing manners.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                          CANSHELOVE, WELL COVERED and DIVINE SCENT all raced wide for the majority of the event.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                          Near the 200m WELL COVERED had to shift wider on the track to avoid the heels of MISS ASTANA, which shifted out.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                          When questioned regarding the disappointing performance of IGUAZU FALLS, jockey S. Galloway stated that in his opinion IGUAZU FALLS did not feel comfortable in its action and as a result he was reluctant to place the horse under pressure when IGUAZU FALLS commenced to compound and lose ground leaving the 200m. Whilst stewards noted S. Galloway's explanation, he was nonetheless reminded of his obligation to advise stewards of any matters that may have had a bearing on the horse's performance when returning to scale. Trainer T. Bailey's stable representative, K. Loy, stated that after speaking to Mr Bailey following the event, connections were disappointed with the performance of IGUAZU FALLS and whilst unable to offer any explanation, gave an undertaking to advise stewards of the results of further tests they intended to carry out on the filly. A post-race veterinary examination of IGUAZU FALLS revealed no significant abnormalities.

Trainer T. Crane was advised that he must provide a veterinary clearance for PLATINUM TOUCH before the horse again trials or races.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                          Following a report by trainer W. Farrington that ABSOLOUIE had sustained a slight abrasion to the nearside knee in the float en route to the track, the gelding underwent a pre-race veterinary examination and was cleared to race.


                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                          Leaving the 1000m TAKE COVER shifted in, making contact with the running rail on two occasions when momentarily crowded by MIGHTY CLANG (K.

Crawford) improved to the inside of the heels of FAIR RISE (J. Bowditch) where there was doubtful room and as a result clipped that runner's heels and blundered.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                          Near the 400m MR LIGHT BLUE (J. Byrne) had to be momentarily steadied when racing in restricted room between and ZODIAC PRINCE (K. Forrester) and COBALT BLUE which shifted in to avoid the heels of the tiring CAPPIN JACK.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                          Rounding the home turn CLEAR DOMINANCE (M.

Stewart), which was following, was also inconvenienced in this incident and shifted wider on the track.

Bowditch) and MONASHEE SUCCESS (S. Galloway) were tightened for room on jumping away between BLUE GINGER (J. Byrne), which shifted out, and MOUNT KOSCIUSZKO (J. Taylor), which shifted in.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                          Near the 1150m BILLY AUCASH (M. Hellyer) shifted out forcing BLUE GINGER out on to the hind quarters of WORLD WE LIVE IN. A short distance later BILLY AUCASH shifted out despite the efforts of its rider, forcing WORLD WE LIVE IN out on to MOUNT KOSCIUSZKO, which in turn shifted out making contact with FREDDY OR NOT (K. Fuji), which in turn shifted out inconveniencing CRASH BAM BOOM (K. Yoshida).

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                          Leaving the 1100m both MOUNT KOSCIUSZKO and WORLD WE LIVE IN commenced to hang in, despite the efforts of their riders, crowding BILLY AUCASH for room, causing that runner to be steadied.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                          Near the 800m WORLD WE LIVE IN was tightened for room between MOUNT KOSCIUSZKO and BILLY AUCASH, which shifted out when commencing to overrace.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                          K. Fuji, the rider of FREDDY OR NOT, pleaded guilty to a charge of careless riding under AR. 137(a) in that near the 150m he permitted his mount to shift out under hard riding when insufficiently clear of BILLY AUCASH, causing that runner to be checked. K. Fuji's licence to ride in races was suspended for a period of 7 meetings, with the term of suspension to commence at midnight on Saturday, 20 November, and expire at midnight on Wednesday, 1 December 2010.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                          G. Geran, the rider of RACKMEISTER, was found guilty of a charge of careless riding under AR. 137(a) in that near the 150m he permitted his mount to shift in under hard riding when insufficiently clear of CRASH BAM BOOM (K. Yoshida), which had to be checked to avoid the heels of RACKMEISTER. G. Geran's licence to ride in races was suspended for a period of 8 meetings, with the term of suspension to commence at midnight on Saturday, 20 November, and expire following the ITC day meeting on Friday, 3 December 2010.
