Racing Incident Report

GALLANT MASTER was slow to begin. VICTORY MASCOT was slow into stride. From the outside barrier, GO STITCH was taken back on jumping, PALAIS D’OR began awkwardly and bumped the outside gate of its stall. In the early and middle stages, AMAZING JOURNEY proved difficult to settle, making the turn at the 800 Metres got its head on the side, hung out and carried WADADELIGHT wider. After this, WADADELIGHT travelled wide and without cover. Near the 700 Metres, AMAZING JOURNEY, which continued to prove difficult to settle, was checked away from the heels of PALAIS D’OR. Rounding the Home Turn, DASH, which was endeavouring to shift out to obtain clear running, was steadied away from the heels of FOREVER FORTUNE. On straightening, PALAIS D’OR was checked to avoid the heels of ESPACE D’OR which was giving ground. Also on straightening, SUPER was steadied when awkwardly placed behind AMAZING JOURNEY and outside PALAIS D’OR. Shortly after straightening, GALLANT MASTER was steadied and shifted to the inside of FOREVER FORTUNE to obtain clear running. In the Straight, SUPER hung out. For the major part of the race, ON SHAN BRAVE travelled wide and without cover. The performance of ESPACE D’OR, which finished tailed out, was considered unacceptable. Before being allowed to race again, ESPACE D’OR will be required to perform to the satisfaction of the Stewards in an official barrier trial and be subjected to an official veterinary examination. When questioned regarding the disappointing performance of BEST NOODLE, E Saint-Martin said as instructed he was able to lead and the horse travelled comfortably in the early and middle stages. He said however BEST NOODLE came under pressure rounding the Home Turn and was most disappointing in its failure to finish the race off. BEST NOODLE was sent for an official veterinary inspection. A veterinary inspection of BEST NOODLE after the race did not show any significant findings. GO STITCH was sent for an official veterinary inspection. After the race, GO STITCH, which finished tailed out, was examined by the Veterinary Officer who said an endoscopic examination showed the horse had a persistent displacement of the soft palate. The performance of GO STITCH was considered unacceptable. Before being allowed to race again, GO STITCH will be required to perform to the satisfaction of the Stewards in an official barrier trial and be subjected to an official veterinary examination. PALAIS D’OR and AMAZING JOURNEY were sent for sampling. After the race, the Veterinary Officer reported that MIGHTY MAN had bled from both nostrils.
