The winner of this Listed event for juveniles was the filly Lady Maroal that trailed third on the inner and came off the inside across the top to turn for home second and be a distinct threat. The filly the led at the 100m and then just held on by a head in 1:41.55 to record her second win in four starts and her first at Blacktype. The winners and where they came from on the home turn were third (three-off the fence and four lengths from the leader), second (three-off the fence and half a length from the leader), led (one-off the fence and two lengths from the leader), fifth (seven-off the fence and seven lengths from the leader), second (two-off the inside and a length from the leader), tenth (ten-off the inside and five lengths from the leader), sixth (eight-off the inside and three lengths from the leader), fifth (twelve-off the inside and three and a half lengths from the leader) and fifth (thirteen-off the inside and length and a half from the leader). Lady Maroal prior to today had run fifth in a G1 but was beaten eleven lengths so this was a major drop in class plus returning to clockwise assisted greatly too and in fact she is unbeaten right-handed. Second home was the Australian bred gelding Atullibigeal that led up and kicked hard the run home but could not quite repel the winner that carried 2kg less due to her sex. Third home was the maiden colt Nest Egg that raced fourth the outer and was paying his first dividend today and it just happened to be a Listed placing. He had run fourth at his first three starts and last start he ran seventh at G1 so this was a drop in class. Fourth home was Samarkand on debut that was wide early before racing second outside the leader and he was third turning in and fourth at the 200m and got beaten four lengths. The only other three to run were beaten five and a half lengths and up to almost eighteen lengths. This race was farcical as two Auckland Racing Club staff with rakes in hand were meandering on the track somehow oblivious to the race being run and had to dive under the inside rail at the 600m to avoid carnage and this created chaos and interference. It left an already weak Listed race with a flurry of questions as to the validity of the result and in fact Te Poropiti was declared a non-runner after having to take the most evasive action at the 600m to avoid the two ARC staff members. There were different degrees of interference suffered by runners in this already suspect event.
