September 9, 2024<\/strong><\/p>\n

Racegoers at Nanango’s annual Spring race meeting were greeted with perfect weather on Saturday at the Lee Park racetrack.<\/p>\n

The fashion theme was \u201cGarden Party Glam\u201d with entrants competing for bottles of wine from Moffatdale Ridge.<\/p>\n

South Burnett Mayor Kathy Duff and Jenny Morgan marshalled the fields in the men’s, women’s and children’s competitions.<\/p>\n

While the crowd was enjoying the weather and trackside fun, two apprentice jockeys were having a tougher time.<\/p>\n

Zac Sprie was thrown at the start of Race 1 when his mount, Princess Lutetia, blundered on jumping.<\/p>\n

QAS paramedics rushed to assist Sprie, who was stood down from any further involvement in the meeting.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Princess Lutetia suffered some minor scratches but was otherwise uninjured.<\/p>\n

Then ahead of Race 3, apprentice Ty Wheeler was dislodged from his saddle twice by Toy Blaze in the mounting yard.<\/p>\n

Toy Blaze was uninjured but declared a late scratching.<\/p>\n

Fortunately, Wheeler was also unhurt and brought home last-race winner Pheeble’s Spirit.<\/p>\n

Former NSW jockey Claire Ramsbotham also had a mixed day, with one winner and three placings … but also picked up a reprimand from the stewards for alleged careless riding in Race 4.<\/p>\n
