2 RACE 1 Hyland Race Colours Plate 1100m Bring The Peace acting on a report from Racing NSW Chief Investigator Mr N Hayward, who, on routine stable inspections of runners engaged today, found a lump on the nearside of the filly's neck, the Stewards interviewed trainer Mr C Ritchie, who was asked to provide treatment records. Mr Ritchie indicated that the filly had been treated on Saturday morning, 5 December 2015, with two intravenous supplement injections and that he had noticed swelling from those injections had not subsided. He indicated that the filly had not received any further treatment of any sort since Saturday morning. Following a veterinary inspection, and after seeking the recommendation of the race day veterinarian, Dr T Selig, the Stewards permitted the filly to take its place in the field. Pre and post race samples were taken and will be forwarded for routine analysis. At a subsequent inquiry, and after perusal of Mr Ritchie's treatment records, Mr Ritchie pleaded guilty to a charge under AR178F(5) in that his treatment records were deficient, in that they omitted the name of the horse, the time of the administration of the treatment, the amount of medication given and the signature of the person administering or authorising the treatment. Mr Ritchie was fined the sum of $300. Bring The Peace laid out making the home turn. Lewinski on jumping was hampered when Avalanche Warning shifted out. Not Surprising was slow to begin and shortly after the start was hampered by Bring The Peace, which shifted out. Raiment bumped with Lewinski on jumping. Raiment was inclined to race keenly in the middle stages and leaving the 800m, was restrained to avoid the heels of Lewinski, which shifted out. Raiment was briefly held up making the home turn. Hazlebrook near the 300m was accidentally struck on the offside shoulder with the whip of J Collett, the rider of Bring The Peace. Hazlebrook laid in under pressure over the concluding stages. RACE 2 TAB More Than Just Winning Handicap 1400m Bon Equus was a late scratching at 2.28pm as it was lame in the off fore. The Stewards ruled that all monies invested on Bon Equus be refunded in full and that all successful wagers made prior to 2.28pm be subject to the following deductions in the face value of each ticket: 1 st Magic Sight 0 cents win, 5 cents place 2 nd Kelvinside 7 cents place 3 rd Bold Beginning 2 cents place Trainer Mr J Pride was asked to provide a veterinary clearance prior to the gelding starting a race. Mr Pride subsequently reported that upon inspection, the off fore plate of the gelding had been displaced which resulted in the injury causing the lameness. Magic Sight laid out rounding the home turn. Kelvinside raced greenly in the straight. RACE 3 McGrath Estate Agents Handicap 1300m Termele change of tactics to be ridden more quietly with cover if possible; led.

Spiced was slow to begin and was hampered shortly after the start when taken in by Pedrille, which, after being directed in by Bodalay, ran in further away from that runner. Spiced brushed the running rail when linking up with the course proper near the 900m.

3 Wahng Wah when questioned, App S Clenton stated that from her wide alley, the intention was to get cover as she felt to persist to go forward would have been to the filly's detriment as she was of the opinion it would have overraced. App S Clenton stated that when the race developed into a sprint home, Wahng Wah raced flatly today and was disappointing. Rakitno approaching the 700m, got its head up and had to be checked away from the heels of Termele. RACE 4 TAB Rewards Handicap 1000m You're Kidding Me the declaration of correct weight was delayed to allow Mr G Vella, trainer of You're Kidding Me, placed third by the judge, to view the official photo in the Stewards room.

Corryvreckan was held up in the early part of the straight and did not obtain clear running until near the 75m. Diamond Fever rider B Shinn told the Stewards the only explanations he could offer were that the mare, being first up with a weight of 59kgs, weakened over the concluding stages and would derive benefit from the run. He stated that when he pushed out to commence his run on the home turn, he made slight contact with Mana, however when asked for an effort, Diamond Fever did not respond and was inclined to shift ground in the straight when tiring. A post race veterinary examination revealed heat stress. Stable representative Mr J Bruce agreed that the mare would derive benefit from the first performance and indicated she may take an additional run to come to hand this preparation. Mr Bruce was asked to provide a veterinary clearance prior to its next start. RACE 5 Schweppes Handicap 2200m Springbok Flyer change of tactics to be ridden more quietly; settled off pace.
