Jockey Pagel did not ride at today's racemeeting (medically indisposed). He was replaced on his mount in Race 1. BRIGTNUMBERTEN and WINTER BLUES lost one length. Jockey Penny reported that SOUND CLOUD took no interest in running. BRAVO ZULU was hanging out in the concluding stages. Jockey Lerena, the rider of CAPTAIN KANGAROO, briefly lost his left side rein in the concluding stages. Jockey Lerena was charged with a contravention in that he struck the horse CAPTAIN KANGAROO more than three times on consecutive strides. When determining a suitable penalty, the Stipendiary Board took into account Jockey Lerena's recent history with regards to contraventions of this rule and guideline, and therefore imposed a penalty of a fine. CAPTAIN KANGAROO was selected for the taking of specimens for analysis. Jockey Lerena appeared before the Board, and was advised against the practice of using his crop when out of contention for a place. Vet: SOUND CLOUD - examined post race, no significant findings. IMPERIAL PAST- abnormal respiratory noise. Scratched: CRASSUS - off feed.
