Approaching the 1100M, CHINO DIABLO (App SU Lim) had to be eased by its rider to avoid the heels of ABOVE THE MILLION (C Goon).

FULL MEANING had a tendency to lay in despite the efforts of its rider from the 400M and approaching the 300M, inconvenienced ELEGENT. Approaching the 200M, FULL MEANING had a tendency to lay in despite the efforts of its rider and again momentarily inconvenienced SEA MASTER.

Approaching the 100M, ACE SURPRISE (SS Vanan) had to shift out to gain a clear run over the heels of ELEGENT which had a tendency to lay inwards and ran home well.
The Stewards questioned Trainer F Maynard into the improved performance of FULL MEANING given the gelding’s previous race starts. Trainer F Maynard explained that in his opinion, the rain-affected track, although “yielding”, suited the gelding. He further stated that it had just returned from a wind operation and had worked well throughout the week and expected an improved performance. The Stewards accepted Trainer F Maynard’s explanation and he was reminded of his obligations in relation to the Rules regarding in and out running.

Stipendiary Stewards’ Report 2
SLTC, Sunday, 26 February 2017
After viewing the official patrol films of this event and considering the evidence tendered, the Stewards acting on their own observations, App L De Souza pleaded guilty to a charge under MRA Rule 44(10) for failing to ride to the satisfaction of the Stewards. The particulars of the charge were that he failed to ride to the satisfaction of the Stewards from approximately the 300M to the winning post with sufficient vigour to gain the best possible placing.
In assessing the penalty, the Stewards took into consideration App L De Souza’s guilty plea, mitigating factors, previous riding record and his submissions on penalty. The Stewards, in not issuing a more severe penalty, also took into consideration that he has a limited race riding experience. Acting on the provisions of MRA Rule 48(5), the Stewards deferred the commencement of App L De Souza’s suspension. He was suspended from riding in races for a period of one (1) month with effect from 5 March 2017 and to expire on 3 April 2017, both dates inclusive.
