SUPPLEMENTARY REPORT

From SCTC meeting, 5.3.06 – Race 7

Stewards reconvened an inquiry into interference suffered by SAMSUN (J. Hoopert) approaching the 50m. After taking evidence, stewards reprimanded jockey A. Pattillo, rider of ALLY BEE, under AR137(a) for failing to correct his mount when it started to shift, thereby causing SAMSUN, which was racing to his inside, to have to be steadied. In issuing a reprimand, stewards took into account there was a contributing shift to the inside from ACTIVE COMBAT.

Stewards questioned R. McMahon regarding the performance of AREION. He stated that rounding the home turn he was obliged to shift in when bumped by ZULU STAR (J. Holder), and then when attempting to obtain a run to the inside of STRONG ‘N’ BLACK, both runners came together, resulting in AREION shifting back towards the rail. Shortly after he was able to obtain a narrow run to the inside of STRONG AND BLACK and made ground, but over the final stages, when placed under pressure, began to weaken. R. McMahon further stated that whilst racing to the inside of STRONG AND BLACK, AREION was hesitant to improve despite his urging, adding that he was further inconvenienced when STRONG AND BLACK had a tendency to shift ground over the final stages.
