23/12/2010  Happy Valley  Race 2

LINKED WIN was crowded for room at the start between INVINCIBLE HEART and GOOD BOY BOY which got its head on the side and shifted in away from HAWTHORNE. DESTINY’S CHILD and HAR HAR CHARMS began awkwardly. ORIENTAL COURSER was crowded for room at the start between RIDE ON THE FIRE and FASTPLUS MASTER which shifted out. Passing the 700 Metres, GOOD BOY BOY commenced to over-race and got its head up for some distance when being checked away from the heels of MEGABUCKS. Passing the 600 Metres, HAR HAR CHARMS was momentarily crowded for room inside GOOD BOY BOY which, when continuing to over-race, shifted in. Also passing the 600 Metres, INVINCIBLE HEART raced in restricted room between RIDE ON THE FIRE and MEGABUCKS. Passing the 200 Metres, ORIENTAL COURSER, which was closing off the race strongly, was shifted out away from the heels of FASTPLUS MASTER. Close to the finishing line, LINKED WIN was bumped by RIDE ON THE FIRE which shifted in. For the majority of the race, MEGABUCKS travelled wide and without cover. A veterinary inspection of GOOD BOY BOY and HAR HAR CHARMS after the race did not show any significant findings. GOOD BOY BOY, HAWTHORNE and ORIENTAL COURSER were sent for sampling.
