that was super and she was working the best she ever has in the past week. We kept her fresh and sweet, brought her to the beach the other day and I don't think I ever saw a horse as fresh on the beach!. It was a good omen but she hadn't run for a few weeks as she gave herself a nick one day out in the paddock and it set us back a bit. On form she deserved it and easy ground and a good pace was a big help. Nathan also gave her a cracking ride. we only have five horses in and I've never had three runners on one day, never mind in one race! However they were all fresh and well so we said we'd run them. . I have great owners - Michelle (Shannon) and David (Mooney, partner) are fantastic and Garry Fleming is a dream to have. Garry is so big into racing, loves to see his horses running and his two ran well and it was good to see Phoenix Open coming back.

The Raceday Stewards enquired into an incident approximately three furlongs from home involving Golden Freckle, ridden by J.A. Powell, unplaced, and Tijuana (GB), ridden by K.J. Leonard, unplaced, where it appeared interference may have occurred. Evidence was heard from the riders concerned. In his evidence J.A. Powell stated that his mount was hanging very badly right, he had his stick in his right hand trying his best to keep him straight and that he had to ease him up as a result of how badly he was hanging. K.J. Leonard stated that he did suffer slight interference but that it gets very congested at that point of the track. He further stated that he could see Golden Freckle was hanging badly right. Having viewed the recording of the race and considered the evidence, the Raceday Stewards were of the opinion that any interference which occurred was because of Golden Freckle hanging badly right and so took no further action
K.J. Leonard, rider of Tijuana (GB), trained by David Edward Finn, reported to the Clerk of the Scales that his mount got interfered with about two furlongs out
J.A. Powell, rider of Golden Freckle, trained by T.J. O'Mara, reported to the Clerk of the Scales that his mount hung right throughout.
