BLINKERS BAR (MR 82) HANDICAP

REGARDSTOBROADWAY refused to jump until the field had covered approximately 100 metres. OUT MY WAY and ROY'S DONKEY (AUS) both lost 2 lengths. RISKY ROSCO was selected for the taking of specimens for analysis. Trainer Erasmus is to be questioned regarding the improved performance of RISKY ROSCO, the winner. In view of the Starter's report concerning REGARDSTOBROADWAY, the starting stall certificate for this filly has been withdrawn until recertified to jump on terms with a companion. ROYALSECURITYPOWER (AUS), hanging in, shifted in at approximately the 300 metre mark carrying THUNDER RUN inwards, resulting in PIANO MAN and OMEGA ONSLAUGHT making contact and OMEGA ONSLAUGHT becoming unbalanced and PIANO MAN having to be checked, losing position. Thereafter ROYALSECURITYPOWER (AUS) was difficult to assist over the final 50 metres. Apprentice Ngwane signed an Admission of Guilt for a contravention in that, as the rider of ROYALSECURITYPOWER (AUS), he failed to ensure that he did not cause interference to runners on his inside at approximately the 300 metre mark. He was suspended for a period of seven days. OUT MY WAY was switched in for a clear run carrying ALL TRUE MAN and THUNDER RUN inwards slightly at approximately the 150 metre mark. Vet: THUNDER RUN - cut into right hind. Scratched: MASTER'S SPIRIT - insufficient recovery time. BENGAL BOY - not eating up. SWAKOPMUND - cast in box. BURRWOOD - elevated temperature. JASON ARGO - examined at the start and found to be not striding out left fore, withdrawn by the Veterinary Surgeon. The course farrier on duty did not report there to be anything amiss with the shoes fitted to the horses that raced at today's race meeting. The passports of all the runners that raced at today's race meeting were checked, identities, AHS and Equine Influenza vaccinations confirmed. Several Jockeys and Apprentices were selected for the taking of breathalyser tests and urine samples for analysis.
