Nomination of Colbook Refused by SDRA Sparks Debate
The Southern Districts Racing Association rejected Colbook’s nomination at its pleasure, shocking owners T O Connor J Kelly H Hincksman and W McKerrow who learned the decision Saturday. The SDRA had previously exonerated most parties after Colbook’s poor Flying Handicap showing at Cootamundra on November 25. Colbook’s trainer Harry Clarke and jockey Fred Carpenter were involved in the disqualification dispute but later exonerated on appeal, yet the nomination denial now prompts a likely appeal and affects future entries for Randwick Canterbury and Canberra events. Colbook has a strong Canberra Horse of the Year track record with six wins in 13 starts and three seconds, contrasting with one poor race at Cootamundra. The trainer, Mr Clarke, expressed disbelief at the SDRA’s move.
