02/03/2016  Happy Valley  Race 2

After being mounted in the Parade Ring, MI SAVVY BOY became fractious and reared, resulting in M Chadwick being dislodged without incident. When MI SAVVY BOY became fractious, INDIGO WAY, which was in the vicinity, also became fractious and kicked out a rail. On arrival at the Start, C K Tong expressed concern regarding the action of INDIGO WAY. INDIGO WAY was examined by the Veterinary Officer who said the horse was lame in its right hind leg and accordingly was not suitable to race. INDIGO WAY was withdrawn by order of the Stewards. Before being allowed to race again, INDIGO WAY will be subjected to an official veterinary examination. Shortly after the start, LIUZHOU WARRIOR became unbalanced after shifting out and bumping SPICY DOUBLE. RISING POWER was steadied in the early stages and shifted across behind runners. Also from wide barriers, SUPER SWEET ORANGE and HAPPY AND HEALTHY were shifted across behind runners to obtain cover in the early stages. When being ridden along in the early stages, WINASWEWISH was steadied away from the heels of MI SAVVY BOY shortly after the start. Passing the 300 Metres, HAPPY MOMENTS and WHO'STHEDUDE made contact due to both horses shifting ground. A veterinary inspection of HAPPY AND HEALTHY immediately following the race did not show any significant findings. A veterinary inspection of LIUZHOU WARRIOR immediately following the race found that horse to have bled from both nostrils. WINASWEWISH, GOLD TALENT and SUPER SWEET ORANGE were sent for sampling.
