18/01/2017  Shatin  Race 8

After being advised by Trainer P O’Sullivan that WHO ELSE BUT YOU had sustained a quarter crack to the right front hoof, that horse was examined in the stables by the Veterinary Officer who subsequently reported that the horse was not suitable to race and accordingly was withdrawn by order of the Stewards. Before being allowed to race again, WHO ELSE BUT YOU will be subjected to an official veterinary examination. GOLDEN SUN and PROUD SKY were badly crowded for room on jumping between HAPPY METEOR and DRAGON MASTER which shifted out abruptly. DRAGON MASTER then continued to shift out and was checked away from the heels of HAPPY METEOR. This resulted in DRAGON MASTER, PROUD SKY and GOLDEN SUN all losing ground. After this, GOLDEN SUN was ridden along to make up lost ground, however, failed to muster speed. Despite being hard ridden in the early and middle stages, FIGHT HERO failed to muster speed. DRAGON MASTER lost its left front plate passing the 800 Metres. Throughout the race, WONDERFUL JOURNEY travelled wide and without cover. A veterinary inspection of GOLDEN SUN immediately following the race found that horse to be lame in its left front leg. Before being allowed to race again, GOLDEN SUN will be subjected to an official veterinary examination. CALIFORNIA WHIP and LOVE SHOCK were sent for sampling. <19/1/2017 Additional Veterinary Report>The Veterinary Officer reported that SUNNY DRAGON was lame in its left front leg on the morning after racing.
