Race 2: Scope Building Maiden Plate 1200 metres

Prior to this event, jockey W Kerford requested that he forfeit his ride in this event as he felt a little distressed after riding in the first event. Stewards permitted him to stand down and as there was no other senior rider available, apprentice D Morgan replaced him on SATIN ROAD. Ambulance officers examined jockey Kerford and subsequently advised that he would be fit to resume for the remainder of his riding engagements.

ASASHIO was a late scratching at 2:25 on veterinary advice after sustaining a laceration to its near-side nostril prior to coming on course. Trainer S Westover was advised that a veterinary certificate of soundness satisfactory to the Stewards must be produced prior to that gelding again starting in a race.

As there was no book maker on course, no betting deductions were applicable.

LIGHTSONTHEHARBOUR (S Wiseman) – Raced wide throughout the event.

RAWTEKK (R Vigar) – Bumped with another runner shortly after jumping. Rider reported that whilst a little disappointed in the run, it was of his opinion that the gelding did not see out the journey first up on the dirt.

SATIN ROAD (D Morgan) – Commenced to shift outwards from the 100m. On returning to the mounting yard, was found to have bled from both nostrils. Trainer advised of the provisions under AR 79(4)(b).
