At Caulfield on Saturday the 26th of May top trainer Mick Price trained three winners. One of the most impressive was the 5 year old Royal Academy mare Royal Charades.

First up after a 27 week spell she came from off the pace to reel in the wayward Galbraith and win narrowly. Galbraith is a once highly regarded Hong Kong horse who is now trained by Peter Healy.
Few horses can lead Galbraith if the stable wish him to lead, but this time the blinkers came off and he sat outside the speedy Devil May Care before taking over on turning for home. Waywardness has always been a problem for Galbraith and once again he did not aid his cause by shifting in abruptly on jumping away - then not keeping a straight course in the straight. His jockey Steven Baster was suspended by stewards. The official stewards’ ruling:
Baster (Galbraith), was found guilty of a charge of careless riding under the provisions of AR.137(a), the careless riding being that after passing the 100m, he permitted his mount to shift in whilst riding it along with the whip, making heavy contact with Royal Charades, which in turn caused some inconvenience to Commanding Hope. S Baster had his licence to ride in races suspended for a period to commence at midnight Monday, 24 May and to expire at midnight Thursday, 3 June 2010, a total of 10 race meetings (3 metro/7 provincial).
And Glen Boss was also suspended. His a more unusual situation as he was judged guilty of not having control of his mount approaching - and passing the winning post. The difficulty of steering a winning path past Galbraith not excuse or consideration enough. The official stewards’ ruling:
G Boss (Royal Charades), was found guilty of a charge of careless riding under the provisions of AR.137(a), the careless riding being that approaching and passing the winning post, he failed to have proper control of his mount, allowing it to shift in resulting in Commanding Hope having to be severely checked. G Boss had his licence to ride in races suspended for a period to commence at midnight Monday, 22 May and to expire at midnight Thursday, 1 June 2010, a total of 10 race meetings (2 metro/8 provincial).
In the photograph taken by Neil Murray you can see Glen Boss on Royal Charades - between horse with the black shadow roll - at the 250 metres trying to gather the mare on one rein as he steers between the shifting Galbraith and the tiring Devil May Care.
