KURPANY (D172): A veterinary inspection immediately following the race did not show any significant findings. PING HAI GALAXY (C377): A veterinary inspection immediately following the race did not show any significant findings. WHIZZ KID (E392): No report. WE ARE HERO (G207): Approaching the 200 Metres attempted to obtain a narrow run to the outside of CARROLL STREET. A short distance later, CARROLL STREET (K Teetan) then shifted out slightly, resulting in WE ARE HERO then racing tight between the outside running rail and CARROLL STREET and not being able to be ridden out for the remainder of the event when held up for clear running. The Stewards were satisfied that WE ARE HERO had not fully established clear running when CARROLL STREET shifted out slightly, however, K Teetan was advised to exercise more care in similar circumstances. ASTROLOGER (G102): For a short distance near the 350 Metres was held up for clear running between WHIZZ KID and KURPANY. Approaching the 150 Metres raced tight as it improved into a run between WHIZZ KID and KURPANY, both of which shifted ground slightly. CARROLL STREET (D489): Sent for sampling post-race. INVINCIBLE SAGE (H301): Sent for sampling post-race. DREAM WINNER (H308): No report. WONDER KIT (G455): Stumbled shortly after the start. IMA SINGLE MAN (D476): When attempting to load IMA SINGLE MAN, the horse backed out, resulting in Apprentice Y L Chung’s left leg making heavy contact with the back gate and sustaining an injury to that leg. When Apprentice Chung was unable to fulfil his engagement due to the injury, IMA SINGLE MAN was withdrawn by order of the Stewards. Apprentice Chung was subsequently stood down by the Chief Medical Officer and therefore was unable to fulfil his remaining race riding engagements.
