Prior to correct weight, after viewing the Stewards' patrol footage, rider Sophie Clayfield (Midivani, 3rd placegetter) lodged an objection against Some Eclipse (Tracey Johnson) being declared 2nd placegetter on the grounds of alleged interference over the final 100m. After taking evidence from all parties, it was established that near the 100m Midivani shifted in and away from Some Eclipse which shifted in when laying in before being straightened by its rider. Furthermore, near the 50m Midivani was taken in before being steadied to avoid the heels of Some Eclipse which shifted in.

T. Johnson added for this reason she elected to stop riding and attempt to straighten her mount and therefore did not place her mount under full pressure over the final two strides.

Tracey Johnson had her licence to ride in races suspended for 1 race meeting, with the period to commence on Sunday 23 March 2025 and expire on Saturday 29 March 2025.

Near the 1200m, was allowed to stride before obtaining the lead near the 800m.

Passing the 1000m was checked to avoid the heels of Enough War (Sean Cooper), which shifted in when not quite clear.

B. Moffat added near the 1100m when Enough War improved to his outside, he elected to place his mount under pressure in an attempt to hold his position outside the leader and comply with his instructions. In hindsight, B. Moffat agreed with Stewards, in the early stages he would have been better placed to allow his mount to stride when racing keenly and settle closer to the lead. He also agreed that near the 1100m, he would have been better placed to restrain his mount and allow Enough War to cross down to rail, which would have afforded him clear running to its outside. A post-race veterinary examination did not reveal any significant findings.

Raced in restricted room for some distance approaching the 900m to the inside of Skylers Princess, which was taken inwards by Red Hot George (Adam Roustoby).

One Kynection Raced keenly in the early stages when being restrained to find cover.

Red Hot George Unplaced favourite ($2.60). Rider Adam Roustoby reported that when the tempo increased approaching the 400m his mount failed to quicken and was one-paced. He added that his mount will be better suited in races over further distance than todays 1150m. A post-race veterinary examination revealed no abnormalities.

Djawara A warning was placed on the record of the gelding, which was difficult to load. Began awkwardly.

Lord Chapel Slow to begin. Rider Dylan Dean reported that his mount failed to muster speed in the early stages, despite being ridden along, and became detached from the remainder of the field.

Skylers Princess For some distance approaching the 900m raced in restricted room to the inside of Red Hot George (Adam Roustoby), before hanging out across the heels of that runner passing the 900m and being checked. Raced wide without cover for the remainder of the race.

Rider Adam Roustoby (Red Hot George) pleaded guilty to a charge of careless riding under AR 131(a), the carelessness being that approaching the 900m he permitted his mount to shift in when insufficiently clear of Skylers Princess, which was carried inwards onto Jimmy Can Tango, resulting in both Skylers Princess and Jimmy Can Tango racing in restricted room for some distance, before Skylers Princess hung out across the heels of Red Hot George and was checked passing the 900m. Adam Roustobys license to ride in races was suspended for 1 picnic race meeting, with the period to commence on 2^nd January 2025 and to expire on 4^th January 2025. Accordingly, Adam Roustoby can return to riding on 5^th January 2025. In assessing penalty Stewards considered the incident to be in the mid-range and took into account his guilty plea and excellent record, this being his first careless riding suspension.

Race 2 OAKDALE MEAT CO TROPHY RACE(2) 1150 metres:

Cesar Bessan Slow to begin. When questioned regarding his riding from the 600m, Shaun Cooper stated that after being slow to begin his mount settled towards the rear of the field on the rail. He stated that when Moshkenny, which was racing to his mounts outside, shifted to a 3-wide position after the 600m that runner did not improve and as a result his mount was held up and unable to obtain clear running until approaching the 100m, where his mount closed its race off well. He added that his mount would appreciate races over further distance than todays 1150m.

Moshkenny Slow to begin.

Rhumbadu Slow to begin. Raced wide and without cover until passing the 600m.

Bimmies Twin Slow to begin.

Race 4 LENEVA PARK MAIDEN PLATE 1600 metres:

Jack Virgona, rider of 2^nd-placed Bulletproof, lodged a protest against Enough War being declared the winner, alleging interference over the concluding stages. On the evidence it was established that Enough War laid in when placed under pressure and near the 50m shifted in and brushed Bulletproof. Bearing in mind the minor nature of the interference, the margin of a short head at the finish and that Enough War had come from a position behind Bulletproof to beat that runner home, Stewards were of the view that the incident had not had a material effect on the placings and the protest was dismissed.

Bulletproof Near the 50m was brushed by Enough War, which shifted in.

Stewards advised G Cluning that in future he must ensure he notifies Stewards of any similar changes of tactics for his runners.

Tabloid Star Raced wide for the majority of the event.

Spirit Maker Laid outwards under pressure in the straight. Rider S Cooper reported he would have preferred to cross to the fence when leading through the middle stages however Star of Mattner had maintained a position to his inside and for this reason, he was unable to cross. Stewards questioned S Cooper regarding his use of the whip particularly passing the 100m where it appeared his whip may have come into contact with the mare forward of the shoulder. S Cooper reported he had not intended to have his whip that far forward however he felt his whip was momentarily caught in the off side rein and this may have resulted in the whip making contact with the side of his mounts head. Stewards noting the lack of force in the contact took no further action however advised S Cooper that a warning would be placed on his record and reminded him to take greater care in similar circumstances.

Star of Mattner Rider T Barton reported that his mount raced keenly in the early stages and for this reason he was unable to restrain and gain cover from the race leader Spirit Maker through the middle stages which he would have preferred.

Unique Bambino Raced keenly in the early stages.

Wunambal Raced wide without cover for the majority of the event. Shifted wider near the 500m. When questioned as to the reason for her shifting ground at this stage, Rider C King reported that she was of the opinion that Marco Spada which was to her inside was close to heels and in the process of shifting her outwards. Stewards advised C King that at that stage she had most certainly erred in permitting her mount to shift out and not maintain a three wide position. Whilst they noted her comments about her safety concerns towards the runner to her inside, Stewards reminded her that she must ensure that she rides competitively at all times and not leave her riding open to criticism or query in future. Stewards will further speak with the Picnic Riding Coach should further tutelage be required and noted her comments should they be required any further following a review of the betting figures.

Healesville 23 November 2024 - Race 6  The Hewitt Open Trophy Race Handicap - 1650 metres:

Stewards today concluded an inquiry into the reasons for rider Ray Douglas being dislodged from Popeye The Sailor approaching the winning post on the first occasion. Stewards took evidence from all riders in the race on the day except Ray Douglas who was transported to hospital. Having interviewed Ray Douglas on 10 December 2024, it was established that approaching the winning post on the first occasion Popeye The Sailor commenced to over race and this together with the pace of the race slackening slightly, placed the gelding close to heels of the leading pair Couldbefamous and Portobello Road. Shortly afterwards Popeye The Sailor clipped heels and blundered dislodging Ray Douglas. Stewards did not believe the incident was a result of the careless actions of any rider and therefore reported it as a racing incident.
