Chief Stipe Posted yesterday at 01:07 AM Author Share Posted yesterday at 01:07 AM In my opinion the horse looked to be under pressure a fair way out and under a hard ride (which might have been questioned). Did it clip heels? Or something else? The rumour mill has started - Jockey's wanted to continue - Goodwin said no - apparently it might not have been a slip.

Chief Stipe Posted yesterday at 01:11 AM Author Share Posted yesterday at 01:11 AM Race 1 THE MASTERTON CLUB EST 1877 MAIDEN 2050m UNUSUAL NUGGET (M Singh) - Knuckled at the start. Blundered then slipped approaching the 400 metres when free of interference, hampering FIRST EDITION, PLATINUM TYCHE and MR MIYAGI. Rider M Singh raised concerns with Stewards regarding the area of the track near the 400 metres where his mount had lost traction. A post-race veterinary examination found the gelding to have a small abrasion on the left hind leg. PLATINUMREVOLUTION (L Sutherland) - Began awkwardly crowding GOLDEN LINING. GOLDEN LINING (A Lawson-Carroll) - Crowded at the start, losing ground. Bumped with MAGIC EXPRESS near the 250 metres. FIRST EDITION (J Riddell) - Restrained at the start to obtain cover. Hampered approaching the 400 metres. MR MIYAGI (J Chung) - Restrained at the start to obtain cover. Hampered approaching the 400 metres RED LADY (U Holmquist) - Raced keenly in the early stages. PLATINUM TYCHE (K Hercock) - Hampered approaching the 400 metres. MAGIC EXPRESS (C Dell) - Bumped with GOLDEN LINING near the 250 metres. DUBAI’S POTIKI (L Hemi) - Raced keenly throughout. Following the running of this event, Riders’ representatives, Stewards and the Track Manager examined the area of the track where UNUSUAL NUGGET had blundered. This revealed a significant slip mark where the gelding had endeavoured to retain its footing after blundering. A meeting was convened with all riders and after deliberating, the decision was made by the Stewards to abandon the meeting due to safety concerns. Stipendiary Stewards report as posted is provisional and subject to further review and amendment Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chief Stipe Posted yesterday at 01:13 AM Author Share Posted yesterday at 01:13 AM Seems the horse "blundered" (whatever that means) and only slipped when trying to regain its footing!!!! Maybe the Stewards blundered: blundered; blundering ˈblən-d(ə-)riŋ Synonyms of blunder intransitive verb 1 : to move unsteadily or confusedly In their exhaustion they often blundered against each other …—Norman Mailer 2 : to make a mistake through stupidity, ignorance, or carelessness blundered by not acting sooner 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Centaur Posted yesterday at 03:23 AM Share Posted yesterday at 03:23 AM Most annoying. This meeting was exactly 50 years after I won the last there ridden by the champion speedway rider Bill Andrew. So was hoping for a good day with multi all up Tycoon Boss and Croupier. Don't know why this meeting was moved from Easter date. Also wonder if public events such as a country music festival create issues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
