NEW FOREST (K094): Sent for sampling post-race. CHARMING STEED (E494): After the event Apprentice E C W Wong could offer no excuse for the horse’s failure to finish the race off in the Home Straight. A veterinary inspection immediately following the race did not show any significant findings. MAGNIAC (H141): No report. FASHION LEGEND (J080): No report. PRECISION GOAL (H016): After the event H Bowman stated that the instructions were to lead the event. He said despite riding his mount along in the early stages it did not show sufficient pace to do so and as a result was crossed by NEW FOREST in the early stages. Sent for sampling post-race. CELESTIAL HARMONY (K059): Near the 1300 Metres was steadied to avoid LUCKY IMPACT. Approaching the winning post was hampered when bumped by VIVA CHALEUR. FOREVER FOLKS (G463): Jumped only fairly. After the event K Teetan stated that his mount settled back in the field and found it difficult to make up ground in the Home Straight. A veterinary inspection immediately following the race did not show any significant findings. REGENCY WIN WIN (K214): Raced wide and without cover for the majority of the event. MEEPMEEP (H234): Jumped only fairly. In the Home Straight lay in and approaching the winning post B Avdulla was obliged to stop riding and straighten his mount. Sent for sampling post-race. DEAL COMPLETED (J378): Had its right hind plate refitted in the saddling stalls, was examined by the Veterinary Officer and passed suitable to race. SPANGLE FORTUNE (G427): No report. VIVA CHALEUR (G368): Made contact with the left side of its starting gate and became unbalanced. Briefly held up near the 400 Metres. Approaching the 100 Metres was held up behind FASHION LEGEND and was shifted to that runner’s outside to obtain clear running. Over the concluding stages VIVA CHALEUR shifted to the outside of MEEPMEEP to continue into clear running and as a result made contact with CELESTIAL HARMONY. ALL ARE MINE (H293): Prior to declaring weighed-in the Stewards gave consideration to an application from Jockey Y L Chung that his mount had been denied a fair start. After taking evidence from Starter, Mr A Speechley, Trainer A S Cruz and Jockey Chung, the Stewards found that ALL ARE MINE reared simultaneously to the start being effected and lost ground and as a result was assisted by the starting gate handler. As the Stewards were satisfied that such occurrence occurred simultaneously to the start being effected the horse was declared a runner. The barrier manners of ALL ARE MINE were considered unacceptable. Before being allowed to race again, ALL ARE MINE will be required to perform satisfactorily in a barrier trial. LUCKY IMPACT (J337): Near the 1300 Metres was steadied to avoid FASHION LEGEND. Making the Home Turn lay out and was eased when positioned close to REGENCY WIN WIN. A veterinary inspection immediately following the race found that horse to have bled from both nostrils. Before being allowed to race again, LUCKY IMPACT will be required to perform satisfactorily in a barrier trial and be subjected to an official veterinary examination.
