THE STARTER REPORTED: a) QUINLAN (W Agrella) lost one length. THE STIPENDIARY STEWARDS REPORTED : a) HARD TO PLAY (S Randolph) proved reluctant to proceed to the start and had to be led by a handler. Trainer W Whitehead will be advised that should this gelding behave similarly in future it may be suspended. b) TRACES (AUS) (D Dillion) was hanging in from the 400m, proving difficult to assist. c) In view of the performance of CAPTAIN OUPIE (M Yeni), (distance 4.35 lengths, betting 23/20), the Veterinary Surgeon was requested to examine. d) Jockey S Randolph signed an admission of guilt for a contravention of Rule 58.10.2, read in conjunction with Guideline M, in that he struck the horse HARD TO PLAY more than 12 times in the entire race. In deciding what action to take against Jockey S Randolph the Board considered the number of times (13) Jockey S Randolph struck the horse HARD TO PLAY, the distance over which and manner in which, Jockey S Randolph used his crop and his record (0) in relation to this Rule. Accordingly, a penalty of a warning was imposed. e) TRACES (AUS) (D Dillon), the winner, was selected for the taking of specimens for analysis. Trainer P Muscutt advised (ML). JOCKEY / EQUIPMENT CHANGES : a) None. RACE CARD CHANGES / OTHER : a) None. THE VETERINARY SURGEON REPORTED : a) CAPTAIN OUPIE : Not striding out right fore.
