MARK
* I will appeal the length of the suspension I received at Gloucester Park. It is a tricky situation there. No other horse was affected and there is no passing lane there so you have got to take your chances. I thought it was* a smart move at the time but even though another horse is not checked there is a regulation to cover it.*

I am heading back to Rolleston and should be there by Sunday. I will probably head north then to look after the team up there. We haven't made any decision about horses like Vincent at this early stage.*
It was of course a tremendous thrill to win the Interdominion Final and the Golden Nugget. Lazarus was always travelling and he probably had it won a good way out. He is an exceptional horse and he just keeps building a record few horses can match. Unfortunately I didn't have time to celebrate because by the time we went through the judicial system and today I am packing up. Poi will stay here with the horses.*
