Racing Incident Report
Race Nine : (493) - SOUTH WALL HANDICAP - Class 3 - 1400Meters
Horse No 1 THE BOOM BOX (K076) K Teetan Prior to declaring weighed-in K Teetan viewed the patrol films to ascertain if there were grounds for a protest/objection against MAGNIFICENT NINE.
When Jockey Teetan declined to lodge a protest/objection and the Stewards were satisfied that there were not sufficient grounds to do so, weighed-in was declared on the numbers semaphored by the Judge.
Over the final 100 Metres raced tight to the inside of MAGNIFICENT NINE which shifted in slightly and near the winning post brushed with MAGNIFICENT NINE.
Sent for sampling post-race.
Horse No 3 GRACIOUS EXPRESS (J188) J Orman After the event, J Orman stated that his mount was one-paced when placed under pressure in the Home Straight and, in his opinion, may be better suited by being ridden more conservatively in the early stages.
A veterinary inspection immediately following the race which included an endoscopic examination showed a substantial amount of mucus in the horse's trachea.
Horse No 4 CATCH ME IF U CAN (K060) A Badel Jumped only fairly and then bumped with LIGHTNESS OF BEING.

Recap by phillip woo
Punted late Armour War Eagle travelled midfield on the rails and kept on gamely after hitting the lead 100m out for a first win at his 13th start. Magnificent Nine ran on nicely with one wider out to finish a close second after making his run fourth last from gate 11. He won last start in Class Four and does have honest form at this level. Favourite The Boom Box wasn't beaten far in the end after a wide with cover trip from behind midfield. He ran well despite top weight and a rise in distance after winning his first three starts. Beauty Glory succumbed late after dictating the run from gate 10. It was one of his better runs from eight outings in Class Three this term. Sugar Ball ran on steadily for fifth after a one-off trip from behind midfield. It was another honest effort. Call Me Gorgeous made some ground late down the outside after making his run at the rear from gate 13. He's still acclimatising. Gracious Express only plodded when asked for an effort after travelling effectively one-out, one-back between horses.
