Just prior to the start being effected, HANDSOME BO BO became restless and then as the gates opened lifted its front feet off the ground and was slow to begin. Before being allowed to race again, HANDSOME BO BO will be required to perform satisfactorily in a stalls test. After missing the start, HANDSOME BO BO got its head up and raced ungenerously for some distance in the early stages when racing back in the field. On jumping, NOBLE STEED made contact with the hindquarters of HELLO BEAUTY which shifted out. As a consequence of contact to its hindquarters, HELLO BEAUTY became unbalanced and continued to shift out, resulting in NOBLE STEED being checked when tightened onto the hindquarters of UNCLE STEVE. From wide barriers, JOYFUL TRINITY, KING OF HEARTS and FAST MOST FURIOUS were all shifted across behind runners in the early stages. For the majority of the race, FAST MOST FURIOUS travelled wide and without cover. A veterinary inspection of MORETHANLUCKY, GOLD CHEST and BEAUTY SPIRIT immediately following the race did not show any significant findings. UNCLE STEVE and HEZTHEWONFORUS were sent for sampling. <8/10/2019 Additional Veterinary Report>The Veterinary Surgeon reported that UNCLE STEVE had a quarter crack in the right front leg on the morning after racing. Before being allowed to race again, UNCLE STEVE will be subjected to an official veterinary examination.
