Passing the 1300 Metres, TOP HONOR was momentarily tightened for room inside HO HO LIFE. Near the 500 Metres, HO HO LIFE became unbalanced when momentarily tightened for room between NORDIC STAR and LUCKY EMPEROR. Near the 200 Metres, TREMENDOUS PLUS shifted out and bumped NORDIC STAR. When questioned regarding the performance of HOME WITH GLORY, O Doleuze stated that the horse was fractious in the barriers and missed the start. He said throughout the race HOME WITH GLORY came on and off the bridle and after being placed under pressure rounding the Home Turn was disappointing in the manner in which it failed to close off the race. A veterinary inspection of HOME WITH GLORY after the race did not show any significant findings. A veterinary inspection of MAINLAND SHUTTLE after the race including an endoscopic examination revealed that the horse was a ``roarer``. REDOUTE`S FORTUNE and NORDIC STAR were sent for sampling. <8/7/2010 Additional Veterinary Report> MAINLAND SHUTTLE, which performed poorly, was examined by the Veterinary Officer. He said at that time an endoscopic examination revealed that the horse was a “roarer”. MAINLAND SHUTTLE was again examined by the Veterinary Officer at the stables of Trainer A S Cruz this morning. He said at this time he noted the horse to be lame in its right front leg. Before being allowed to race again, MAINLAND SHUTTLE will be subjected to an official veterinary examination.
