Coolgardie Cup winner Son Of Vasac has been penalised 1.5kg for the Boulder Cup.

David O'Heare weighed out a kilo above the gelding's handicap of 53.5kg in the Coolgardie Cup but there were no other senior rider free to replace him.

Blevvo gave a courageous effort under his 58kg to recover from a severe knock and finished a barnstorming fifth in the Coolgardie Cup. The Fruit 'N' Veg champion is reported to be leaving for Melbourne next week, to run in the $253,000 John F Feehan Stakes (1600m) at Moonee Valley on September 13.


Suspicion may have her last race when she contests the Boulder Cup. A decision will be made after the race on whether she is retired to stud.


Plans for Mr Tambourineman to compete in the Kalgoorlie Cup have been scraped, the horse will go to the paddock after next Saturday's $42,500 Belmont Park Cup.

There was a 12-minute delay to the Coolgardie Cup start when stewards searched jockeys with a metal detector behind the barriers - very ineresting
