TROUBLE IN RUNNING

HARMONY GALAXY (J266) jumped awkwardly and then shortly after was crowded. Near the 600M was bumped. After the event, rider stated that whilst he had expected to take up a forward position, it was not his intention to lead. He said after obtaining the lead in the early stages his mount was disadvantaged by being pressured in the lead in the middle stages when a runner went forward. He said as a consequence his mount gave ground in the Home Straight. Post-race vet inspection did not show any significant findings - Race 194.

LUCKY TOUCH (J203) in the early stages raced keenly when being steadied to obtain cover behind a runner. When questioned regarding his riding, rider stated that after following a runner in the event, when that runner shifted out approaching the 450M he elected to improve to its inside to obtain clear running. He said after being briefly held up on the Home Turn he was able to place his mount under full pressure on straightening where his mount ran on well - Race 233.

HIGHLAND RAHY (J298) after the event, rider stated that when caught wide in the early stages he was obliged to ride his mount forward to cross runners to his inside to avoid racing wide. He said as a result his mount was not able to finish the race off strongly in the Home Straight. Post-race vet inspection did not show any significant findings. Performance as compared to its previous start was considered disappointing. Has since performed to the satisfaction of the Stewards in a barrier trial and passed an official vet exam - Race 170.

GOOD GOOD (J224) bumped at the start. Lay in under pressure in the Home Straight - Race 824.

GALE SAGA (J152) was withdrawn prior to the race by order of the Stewards acting on vet advice (lame left fore) . Has since passed an official vet exam - Race 050.

CHARMING STEED (E494) after the event, rider could offer no explanation for his mount's disappointing performance. Post-race vet inspection did not show any significant findings - Race 235.

AMAZING AWARD (J236) blundered on jumping and as a result became unbalanced - Race 214.

GOLDEN DARCI (H470) approaching the first turn was checked. Over the concluding stages could not be ridden out when placed in restricted room - Race 235.

PERFECTO MOMENTS (J003) noted to have sustained a small laceration to the right hind leg after the race - Race 222.

KING SHOW (K047) near the 900M was steadied when momentarily crowded. After the event, rider stated that his mount, which was having its second race start, raced greenly when obliged to race wide and without cover. He said as a consequence in the Home Straight his mount did not respond to his riding. Post-race vet inspection did not show any significant findings. Finished tailed out and performance was considered unacceptable. Has since performed to the satisfaction of the Stewards in a barrier trial and passed an official vet exam - Race 241.
