Stewards' Reports for The Wenjiang Sprint - First Leg Of The Jockey Challenge
As the runners were being loaded into the barrier, on three separate occasions several horses broke through the front due to the gates opening unexpectedly. As this posed as an unnecessary safety risk to the horses, jockeys and stall handlers, the Stewards in conjunction with the Starter used their discretion under the provisions of ERA Rule 20(iv), to permit a flag start for this race. As a result, this race was delayed approximately 5 minutes. Subsequent to the race, Stewards ordered to flag start the remaining four races, with all riders advised of this direction. DAMAR (IRE) - (R Mullen): After being loaded into the barrier broke through on three occasions, before being returned, vetted and passed suitable to race. EJBAAR (GB) - (P Dobbs): Approaching the 200 metres was momentarily held up for clear running, before easing off heels. INTERMEDIUM (GB) - (J Rosales): After being loaded into the barrier broke through, was returned, vetted and passed suitable to race. SYNCOPATION (IRE) - (L Ma): After being loaded into the barrier broke through on two occasions, before being returned, vetted and passed suitable to race. On jumping lost ground (5 lengths). Lay in under pressure in the straight. PARANORMAL (IRE) - (W Wang): After being loaded into the barriers broke through, was returned, vetted and passed suitable to race.
