Race 2 - Yalumba Sprint 1000m 
Rory's Risk was a touch fractious in
the stalls and on jumping out stumbled badly dislodging his rider as Pardayas and Rations
raced to the early lead from Finally Fame and Hillview Express with Future Command at the
rear outside the riderless Rory's Risk. With 800m to go little changed apart from the
riderless Rory's Risk accelerating around the field to hit the front as they started to
turn for home. Rory's Risk ran to the outside fence around the home turn and crashed
through the outside rail as the others straightened for the run in. Rations went to a
narrow lead from Pardayas as Finally Fame was blocked for a run behind them with Hillview
Express moving out around the leaders followed by Future Command. Rations hit the front
passing the 200m from Hillview Express out wide and Pardayas on the fence as Finally Fame
was checked off heels and Future Command continued to run on down the centre of the track.
With 100m to go Future Command joined Rations in front with Hillview Express between them
from Pardayas. In the final 50m Future Command held the others to win by half a length
from Hillview Express with a further half length back to Rations in third. Rory's Risk
crashed through the outside running rail with his shoulder flipping over and sliding on
landing. It was then feared he would escape out the carpark gate onto the busy Torrens
Road but he ran off into the nearby TAFE Riding Skills Centre and was recaptured. He
reportedly suffered from bruising and cuts to his off fore shoulder, off foreleg, off hind
leg and near hind leg but was relatively unharmed considering the nature of the incident.
