E GENERATION shifted out at the start and bumped the hindquarters of SKYEY SUPREME which became unbalanced. WAYFOONG VINNIE was steadied away from the heels of CLASSIC POSH on jumping when that horse shifted in. Shortly after the start, THANKS FOREVER stumbled, shifted out and bumped BRAVERY AND POWER which then shifted out away from THANKS FOREVER and bumped REEL BIZZY. After travelling a short distance, ORIONIDS was bumped by CALIFORNIA GUNGHO which was taken out by DIAMOND KING. ORIONIDS lay out throughout the race. The performances of SKYEY SUPREME and E GENERATION, both of which finished tailed out, were considered unacceptable. Before being allowed to race again, SKYEY SUPREME and E GENERATION will be required to perform to the satisfaction of the Stewards in a barrier trial and be subjected to an official veterinary examination. A veterinary inspection of E GENERATION immediately following the race did not show any significant findings, however, the horse was unable to be scoped due to being fractious. A veterinary inspection of VOYAGE WARRIOR immediately following the race did not show any significant findings. THANKS FOREVER and VOYAGE WARRIOR were sent for sampling. <27/5/2019 Additional Veterinary Report>E GENERATION, which performed poorly, was examined by the Veterinary Officer who said at that time there were no significant findings, however, the horse was unable to be scoped due to being fractious.
