13/12/2023  Happy Valley  Race 8

MOMENTS IN TIME (H474): No report. LOYAL BABY (E130): Bumped on jumping. Was left racing wide and without cover from the 1000 Metres. A veterinary inspection immediately following the race did not show any significant findings. GALLANT WAKING (G165): From the outside barrier was shifted across behind runners in the early stages. Held up on the Home Turn. Approaching the 250 Metres was shifted to the inside of HOSS to obtain a narrow run between that runner and ROMANTIC LAOS and as a result made contact with ROMANTIC LAOS. Sent for sampling post-race. HOSS (H055): Approaching the 200 Metres was steadied when crowded by MALDIVES (K De Melo) which shifted in. K De Melo was advised to exercise more care. After the race, K Teetan reported that his mount travelled satisfactorily during the early and middle stages but failed to respond to his riding in the Home Straight and, in his opinion, may not have run out the 1650 Metres of tonight’s race. A veterinary inspection immediately following the race did not show any significant findings. TOURBILLON PRINCE (H122): Bumped at the start. Sent for sampling post-race. U S S CONSTITUTION (H357): From a wide barrier was shifted across behind runners in the early stages. Near the 200 Metres was inconvenienced when YOU’REMYEVERYTHING shifted in.
