14/03/2018  Happy Valley  Race 6

LONDON CITY was withdrawn on 13.3.18 by order of the Stewards acting on veterinary advice (lame right fore). Before being allowed to race again, LONDON CITY will be subjected to an official veterinary examination. SIR REDALOT began awkwardly, shifted in and bumped GENEROUS HEART. GREAT PROFIT began awkwardly, shifted in and bumped the hindquarters of SIR REDALOT which became unbalanced, causing further crowding to GENEROUS HEART. I’M THE CONQUIST, which was racing inside GENEROUS HEART, was hampered in consequence. From the outside barriers, WAYFOONG VINNIE and AMAZING MOMENT were shifted across behind runners in the early stages. Making the turn after the 1000 Metres, DOUBLE VALENTINE commenced to travel keenly and was awkwardly placed close to the heels of HAPPY METEOR. Approaching and passing the 500 Metres, GREAT PROFIT raced tight outside DOUBLE VALENTINE which got its head on the side and lay out. WAYFOONG VINNIE was held up for clear running from on straightening until passing the 200 Metres. GENEROUS HEART lost its left hind plate near the 300 Metres. A veterinary inspection of GREAT PROFIT immediately following the race did not show any significant findings. GENEROUS HEART and SIR REDALOT were sent for sampling.
