22/06/2016  Happy Valley  Race 7

PRESIDENTPARAMOUNT was withdrawn on 21.6.16 by order of the Stewards acting on veterinary advice (lame left fore foot) and was replaced by Standby Declared Starter THOR THE GREATEST (K Teetan). HAPPY COOPERATION was also withdrawn on 21.6.16 by order of the Stewards acting on veterinary advice (lame left fore). Before being allowed to race again, PRESIDENTPARAMOUNT and HAPPY COOPERATION will be subjected to an official veterinary examination. RACING MATE was slow to begin. DILLY began only fairly. MR RIGHT began awkwardly and bumped THOR THE GREATEST. MR RIGHT then shifted out and bumped ALL WIN BOY. Making the first turn after the 1100 Metres, RACING MATE got its head on the side and hung out, resulting in ALL WIN BOY being hampered when taken out across the heels of LUCKY GUY. RACING MATE continued to hang out and shifted out making the turn after the 600 Metres and then hung out badly rounding the Home Turn, resulting in LUCKY GUY being severely hampered when taken very wide. A veterinary inspection of RACING MATE immediately following the race did not show any significant findings. Having regard to RACING MATE's racing manners, the Stewards ruled that the horse must barrier trial satisfactorily on consecutive occasions around a bend before being permitted to race again. TOP BONUS lost its right hind plate near the 100 Metres. Throughout the race, FISH N' CHIPS travelled wide and without cover. A veterinary inspection of MR RIGHT and FISH N' CHIPS immediately following the race did not show any significant findings. APACHE SPIRIT and HAPPY BAO BEI were sent for sampling.
