Interstate Stewards Extracts – Warwick Farm, Saturday 7 January
Race 2 Number 4 – Cellarman - Connections advised he would be ridden with cover; settled at the rear of the field. Rider reported it wasn’t his intention to settle so far back however bearing in mind the instructions to ride with cover from an outside draw, he had to settle further back to gain a position with cover. He further added that the colt travelled well until placed under pressure near the 500m where it failed to respond to his riding. A post race veterinary examination failed to reveal any abnormalities. (Caulfield 12/10/16)

Race 9 Number 8 – Forgotten Years – Raced wide without cover. (Doomben 24/12/16)
