  • Stipe Comment: Crowded shortly after the start. Steadied when placed in restricted room near the 300m. When questioned regarding the performance rider advised that the gelding had not travelled comfortably throughout and had failed to respond when placed under pressure. Underwent a post-race veterinary examination which revealed a small laceration to the right hind pastern. Co-trainer Mr. A Scott advised Stewards, that the stable was satisfied with the post-race condition of the gelding and indicated that CHECKMATE may be nominated for the Auckland TR meeting on Thursday 1 January.
