THE SKY SPORTS RACING SKY 415 RESTRICTED MAIDEN STAKES (CLASS 5) (for horses in Bands C and D) (GBB RACE) Permission was given for Squashy Berry (GB) to be mounted in the chute; Spirit Of Albion (IRE) to go early to post wearing a red hood and Malakai Kite (IRE) to wear a red hood to the start.
Mike Murphy was fined £100 for failing to notify the Racing Calendar Office prior to declarations that Ice To Meet You (GB) had been gelded, this being his first breach within the previous 12 months.
Ocean Force (IRE), trained by Gary & Josh Moore, spread a plate on the way to course and was unable to be re-shod.
As the trainer had not indicated at declaration stage that the gelding should be withdrawn in the event of losing a shoe on the way to post, Ocean Force (IRE) ran without its right- hind shoe.
An enquiry was held into the running and riding of Ocean Force (IRE), ridden by Tom Queally and trained by Gary & Josh Moore, which was positioned in the rear of the field before being slightly denied a clear run approaching the 2 furlong marker and thereafter appeared to be tenderly handled to finish fifth of nine runners, beaten by 16 lengths.
The rider and the trainer were interviewed and shown recordings of the race and the Veterinary Officer examined the gelding post-race and had nothing to report.
The rider stated that his instructions were to get Ocean Force (IRE) settled and to ride his mount as he found it.
He added he was happy with his positioning towards the rear of the field, and as he was looking to take closer order, he was slightly denied a clear run.
He further explained that Ocean Force (IRE) showed signs of greenness and stated that his mount made a respiratory noise approaching the furlong marker and for the remainder of the race, which he reported to the Clerk of the Scales, and therefore felt it prudent to ride sympathetically to the line.
The trainer stated that he was satisfied with the ride Ocean Force (IRE) was given and added that his horse was unsuited by the going, which, in his opinion was loose on top, and would be suited to a flatter track.
Their explanations were noted.
Following the race, Paddy Bradley reported that Ice To Meet You (GB), unplaced, ran green.
