Race-by-Race Summary

RACE 1: TAB Place Multi Handicap 1400m

Over The Air – prior to the declaration of correct weight, the Stewards viewed the official patrol footage as to whether there were grounds for objection against 2nd placegetter Electric Tribute. When they were satisfied there were insufficient grounds to proceed, correct weight was declared. T Angland, rider of Electric Tribute, pleaded guilty to a charge of careless riding in that, near the 50m when his mount was attempting to run out, he failed to show a sufficient duty of care to his fellow riders in that he then resumed riding with the whip, which resulted in Electric Tribute shifting out across the rightful running of Over The Air, resulting in Over The Air being checked. In assessing penalty, the Stewards took into account the racing manners of Electric Tribute. T Angland's licence to ride in races was suspended for a period to commence on Sunday, 5 July 2015 and to expire on Sunday, 12 July 2015, on which day he may ride.
Lieder – hampered at the start when Libidosun shifted in.
Intrepid Way – overraced throughout the early stages.
Libidosun – when questioned regarding the performance of the gelding, which finished 6th, B Shinn stated that shortly after jumping he was briefly crowded for room between Lieder and Minaret, both of which shifted ground and, as a result, finished up racing further back than intended. He added that he elected to concede a little ground and shift away from the rails to race on the back of Lieder, as he felt that runner was his principal danger in the race. B Shinn further stated, as the winner, Intrepid Way, finished in the same part of the track in the straight, the run of Libidosun in the circumstances was disappointing. He said that backing up and stepping up in distance, with the big weight on a heavy track, may have been factors in its failure to finish the race off. A post-race veterinary examination did not reveal any abnormalities. Trainer Mr C Waller reported Libidosun will now be spelled.

RACE 2: Schweppes Handicap 1900m

Loophole – slow to begin.
Sir Mako – when questioned concerning his riding passing the 300m, App. R Hutchings stated that, with Der Meister inclined to shift ground, he initially angled to improve to the inside of that horse, but when it shifted back in near the 250m he directed his mount out, but it initially did not respond. He added that, as a result, when Der Meister then corrected its shift and shifted back out, he found himself too close to the heels of that runner approaching the 150m and was hampered as a consequence.
Missvonn – when questioned, T Clark stated that the mare travelled well, but was unable to quicken. He added he felt Missvonn, which was one-paced today, had not backed up from its hard run, finishing 5th, at Rosehill on 13 June 2015. A post-race veterinary examination did not reveal any abnormalities.
Mydream – App. J Taylor stated, in her opinion, the mare had not run out the 1900m journey. A post-race veterinary examination did not reveal any abnormalities.

RACE 3: Dyldam Significant Stakes 1900m

Our Catch – leaving the 1600m shied at the running rail and became unbalanced. When questioned regarding the performance of Our Catch, T Clark stated, whilst the gelding has handled soft tracks, it has shown in the past that it does not appreciate heavy going. He added that Our Catch failed to handle the going at any stage today and, as a result, when well beaten in the straight he eased his mount down. A post-race veterinary examination revealed the gelding to be displaying a poor post-race recovery. Trainer's representative Mr M Newnham concurred with T Clark that Our Catch did not handle today's heavy track and indicated the gelding will be spelled.
Stradazzle – on straightening had to be steadied away from the heels of It's About You, which laid in.
It's About You – inside the 100m briefly shifted out sharply and inconvenienced Sirius Spy.

RACE 4: Ronald McDonald House Westmead Winter Cup (Listed) 2400m

Bonfire – which was laying on the nearside of the gate, began awkwardly. Approaching the winning post on the first occasion Bonfire was inclined to shift out and hampered Gosh.
Dream Folk – when questioned regarding the performance of the gelding, App. W Costin stated it travelled well in the run, but was unable to quicken in the going when asked to improve from the 450m. A post-race veterinary examination did not reveal any abnormalities.

RACE 5: Quilton Sprint 1200m

Dupe Ém – hampered on jumping when Lockroy shifted out at the start.
Kipling – jumped awkwardly and shortly after the start, after being bumped by Dupe Ém, was taken out and crowded when Well Hardly Ever ran in at the start.
Well Hardly Ever – ran in at the start. When questioned, D Beasley stated his mount struggled in the going when asked to quicken passing the 400m. A post-race veterinary examination did not reveal any abnormalities.
Lockroy – when questioned, B Avdulla stated that his instructions had been to ride the gelding quietly and he was somewhat disadvantaged when the pace was slow. He added that nevertheless Lockroy was unable to quicken in the going and was disappointing in its failure to finish the race off. A post-race veterinary examination did not reveal any abnormalities. Stable representative Ms T Rouse agreed that the track conditions may not have been to the gelding's advantage and undertook to report back to the Stewards on the progress of Lockroy subsequent to the race.

RACE 6: Perfection Fresh Handicap 1500m

Rugged Cross – dipped at the 900m. Bumped with Café Society near the 700m, as Rugged Cross endeavoured to shift away from the rails.
Café Society – near the 700m bumped with Rugged Cross, as that runner endeavoured to shift away from the rails. Rider K McEvoy reported Café Society, in his opinion, did not handle the heavy track conditions. A post-race veterinary examination did not reveal any abnormalities. Trainer's representative Mr M Newnham agreed that the gelding was disappointing, however, it was resuming today after a long break from racing. He undertook to report back as to how Café Society pulls up and stated that the gelding will now be freshened up and will trial prior to its next start.
Mirage – dipped at the 550m.
Rockalong – rider T Huet stated his mount did not handle the heavy track and dipped on two occasions near the 600m. Stable representative Mr S Perry stated that Rockalong's win on a Slow (6) surface at Rosehill on 13 June 2013 had taken the stable by surprise, as it had previously performed poorly in trials on wet surfaces. He added the stable would now try and avoid heavy tracks when programming future race starts for the gelding. Mr Perry was advised to produce a veterinary clearance prior to Rockalong racing again.

RACE 7: Cellarbrations Handicap 1500m

Sensualism – slow to begin. Rider G Schofield was spoken to for returning to scale at a weight which placed him close to being in breach of AR145.
Berrimilla – disappointed for a run between Vergara and Transfers, which shifted out when weakening. Rider H Bowman was spoken to for returning to scale at a weight which placed him close to being in breach of AR145.
Karakuchi – when questioned, B Avdulla explained that the mare did not handle the heavy track and, in particular, floundered near the 600m in a heavier section of the track. Trainer Mr M Dale stated, in his view, the mare lacked confidence on today's heavy surface and undertook to report if there was anything amiss with the mare subsequent to the race.
Transfers- when questioned, App. S Lisnyy stated his instructions were to go forward and, after pushing his mount along, crossed to the lead, however, Transfers then refused to come back underneath him. He added that, whilst he knew that Transfers was going faster than he had wished, his mount pulled hard and refused to settle in the lead.

RACE 8: tab.com.au Handicap 1200m

Trainer Mr J Pride, represented by stable foreperson Ms H Devlin, was fined $400 under LR 35 for the late declaration of D Beasley (Alias) and App. W Costin (Earnest Ernest).

When questioned, App. K Jennings stated that Mohave missed the start slightly, got further back than he had intended and then was unable to make ground on the heavy track. A post-race veterinary examination revealed the gelding to be displaying an occasional cough.

Idance – passing the 200m was taken out by Snitsky (G Schofield) and became unbalanced after making contact with Coolring. G Schofield was advised to exercise more care.
Got The Goss – rider B Shinn could not offer any explanation for the disappointing performance of the gelding. A post-race veterinary examination did not reveal any abnormalities. Trainer Mr T McIlrick advised, in his view, the gelding did not handle the heavy track conditions in this grade and, furthermore, he would now consult with the owners prior to making a determination about the gelding's immediate racing future. Mr McIlrick undertook to advise the Stewards of the plans for Got The Goss in the days subsequent.
