On arrival at the Start, it was noted that RAPPER DRAGON had blood at the mouth. An examination of RAPPER DRAGON by the Veterinary Officer found that horse to be suitable to race. PIKACHU was slow to begin. AMAZING AGILITY began only fairly. From the outside barrier, SANTA FE SUN was steadied in the early stages and shifted across behind runners. Near the 1350 Metres, ISHVARA shifted in and bumped UP AND COMING. DYNAMISM had difficulty obtaining clear running in the early part of the Straight. Passing the 300 Metres, DYNAMISM got its head on the side, shifted out and raced tight against RACING HERO which was awkwardly placed inside PIKACHU. Then near the 250 Metres, DYNAMISM and RACING HERO momentarily raced tight between PIKACHU and RAPPER DRAGON which shifted out marginally. Near the 50 Metres, DYNAMISM was steadied away from the heels of GONNA RUN. Over the concluding stages, PIKACHU lay in under pressure. Throughout the race, DOYENI and PIKACHU travelled wide and without cover. A veterinary inspection of FANTASTIC KAKA immediately following the race did not show any significant findings. A veterinary inspection of ISHVARA immediately following the race confirmed the horse to be a "roarer" which had previously been reported. RAPPER DRAGON and SERGEANT TITANIUM were sent for sampling. <29/3/2016 Additional Veterinary Report>ISHVARA, which performed poorly, was examined by the Veterinary Officer. He said at that time he confirmed the horse to be a “roarer” which had previously been reported. ISHVARA was again examined by the Veterinary Officer at the stables of Trainer T P Yung this morning. He said at this time he noted the horse to be lame in its left front leg. Before being allowed to race again, ISHVARA will be subjected to an official veterinary examination.
