Racing Incident Report
BERIO, which was fractious in the barriers, was slow to begin. After this, BERIO was ridden along to obtain a forward position. Shortly after the start, OSVALDO was checked away from the heels of DANESIS which got its head on the side and shifted out. In the middle stages, WATCH WHAT HAPPENS proved difficult to settle. Near the 700 Metres, OSVALDO became unbalanced when awkwardly placed close to the heels of WATCH WHAT HAPPENS. Passing the 600 Metres, BERIO was taken wider by DUMBARTON ROCK which shifted to the outside of SILVER SUN. WATCH WHAT HAPPENS was held up for clear running until passing the 300 Metres. Over the concluding stages, DANESIS shifted ground outwards under pressure. After the winning post, SYLLABUS and JOYFUL WINNER were severely checked when tightened for room between DUMBARTON ROCK and BERIO (Apprentice T H So) which, after finishing the race, was permitted to shift in by its rider. Apprentice So was advised that although the race had finished, his actions in allowing BERIO to shift in thereby compromising the safety of riders and horses to his inside would not be condoned in future. He was also advised that, at all times, he should show due care and regard to his fellow riders. A veterinary inspection of BERIO after the race did not show any significant findings. BERIO, HOLI RAVIOLI and OSVALDO were sent for sampling.
