11/02/2015  Happy Valley  Race 2

CIRCUIT STAR began awkwardly and lost ground. GLORY BOY was crowded for room on jumping between HAPPY CENTENARY and SOUTHERN SPRINGS (T H So) which shifted out. T H So was advised to ensure that he makes every effort to prevent his mounts from shifting ground at the start and causing interference to other runners. After this, GLORY BOY was shifted across behind runners. RUGBY AMBASSADOR began awkwardly, shifted in on jumping and bumped the hindquarters of GO-GETTER which became unbalanced. From a wide barrier, HEROIC GURU was shifted across behind runners in the early stages. Passing the winning post on the first occasion, CIRCUIT STAR raced tight inside STRATHTAY. After the 1200 Metres, SOUTHERN SPRINGS was left racing wide and without cover. At the entrance to the Straight, STRATHTAY was shifted to the inside of RUGBY AMBASSADOR after being held up behind that horse rounding the Home Turn. Passing the 200 Metres, HEROIC GURU got its head on the side and lay in under pressure and then over the concluding stages was inclined to shift out. After the race, an endoscopic examination was conducted on ELEGANCE KLAMMER at the request of Trainer C W Chang. The Veterinary Surgeon said this examination showed a substantial amount of blood in the horse's trachea. Before being allowed to race again, ELEGANCE KLAMMER will be subjected to an official veterinary examination. GO-GETTER and HEROIC GURU were sent for sampling.
