RACE 1 - SPALDING COMMUNITY HOTEL/GEORGETOWN HOTEL/BUNDALEER HGHTS MAIDEN PLATE

The start of this race was delayed several minutes after several horses proved to be unruly en route to the barrier.

JUST JIM (J. Marks) and GREG (H. McKechnie) both dislodged their riders shortly after leaving the mounting enclosure. Both horses were quickly recaptured and taken to the start. JUST JIM broke away from the Clerk of the Course shortly after arriving at the barriers but was quickly recaptured. Both JUST JIM and GREG were vetted by the Club’s Veterinary Surgeon and passed fit to take their places in the field.

JUST JIM veered out sharply shortly after the start and dislodged its rider, J. Marks. J. Marks was examined by the Club’s medical officer and passed fit to ride for the remainder of the day.

MISS LADYBIRD (J. O’Connor) showed a tendency to hang out in the vicinity of the 800 metres.

Mr. G. Kelly, trainer of JUST JIM, was advised by the Stewards that the gelding must complete a satisfactory barrier trial for being unruly en route to the barriers and for its unsatisfactory racing manners before being accepted for any future races.

Trainer, Miss L. Treloar, was advised that a warning had been placed on GREG for its unruly behaviour en route to the barrier.

Trainer, Mrs. V. Reid, was advised that a warning had been placed on MISS LADYBIRD as that mare had proved difficult to load.
