27/11/2019  Happy Valley  Race 9

The Veterinary Officer reported that HIGHLY PROACTIVE was found to have a number of small lacerations to the left side of the nose after being transported into Happy Valley. An examination of HIGHLY PROACTIVE found that horse to be suitable to race. On arrival at the Start, the Veterinary Officer reported that HIGHLY PROACTIVE had blood at the mouth, however, was suitable to race. Also on arrival at the Start, A Sanna expressed concern regarding the action of AMBITIOUS HEART. An examination of AMBITIOUS HEART by the Veterinary Officer found that horse to be suitable to race. A veterinary inspection of AMBITIOUS HEART immediately following the race did not show any significant findings. HIGHLY PROACTIVE, which was difficult to load, will be required to perform satisfactorily in a stalls test before being allowed to race again. DIVINE UNICORN shifted out at the start and bumped HAPPY WARRIOR. AMBITIOUS HEART began only fairly and then lost ground when crowded for room on jumping between HAPPY WARRIOR and THE RUNNER which shifted in. From wide barriers, E MASTER and FAIRY TWINS were shifted across behind runners in the early stages. Making the turn after the 600 Metres, HAPPY WARRIOR was bumped by DIVINE UNICORN which shifted in momentarily. Passing the 200 Metres, HIGHLY PROACTIVE shifted in abruptly, requiring its rider to stop riding and straighten his mount. Throughout the race, THE RUNNER travelled wide and without cover. MERIDIAN GENIUS and HIGHLY PROACTIVE were sent for sampling.
