CALL ME DANDY (G469): After the race, Z Purton stated that his preference was to hold a forward position, but on jumping CALL ME DANDY, which had been fractious in the barriers, jumped awkwardly and lost ground. He said as a result CALL ME DANDY settled at the tail of the field, but, in his opinion, did not appreciate the "Yielding” track conditions. He also stated that, in his opinion, CALL ME DANDY may not have appreciated the Happy Valley circuit which it was racing at for the first time. Assistant Trainer S K Sit confirmed the instructions issued. A veterinary inspection immediately following the race did not show any significant findings. The performance was considered unacceptable. Before being allowed to race again, CALL ME DANDY will be required to perform to the satisfaction of the Stewards in a barrier trial and be subjected to an official veterinary examination. TORONADO PHANTOM (E300): Inside the 50 Metres was steadied to avoid the heels of LUCKY GOR (L Hewitson) which shifted out. L Hewitson was advised to exercise more care. AMAZING RUN (H401): Jumped awkwardly. SAVVY CHIC (G261): No report. LUCKY GOR (G217): Approaching the 100 Metres lay in whilst being ridden along, resulting in its rider, L Hewitson, having to stop riding, correct his mount and change the whip to his right hand. Then shifted out under pressure before being again corrected near the 50 Metres. COPARTNER AMBITION (E218): Was sent for sampling post-race. FUN N GLORY (G003): Was bumped shortly after the start.
