27/11/2019  Happy Valley  Race 7

DIGITAL TRIUMPH began awkwardly and lost ground. HAPPY ALUMNI began only fairly. After initially shifting in and brushing POWERMAX on jumping, SUPER WINNER then shifted out and bumped NEXTMODEL. From the outside barriers, PLAY TO WIN and SUCCESS ALLSTARS were steadied in the early stages and shifted across behind runners to obtain cover. When being steadied to obtain cover shortly after the start from a wide barrier, NICE KICK was checked away from the heels of HARBOUR ALERT which shifted out abruptly. This resulted in both HARBOUR ALERT and NICE KICK losing ground. HARBOUR ALERT was then ridden along in an endeavour to obtain a forward position and passing the 1100 Metres was shifted in to obtain cover when unable to obtain a forward position. HARBOUR ALERT was subsequently unable to shift in to race behind WAYFOONG CHARMER and near the 900 Metres was left racing wide and without cover. Near the 1100 Metres, NEXTMODEL and WAYFOONG CHARMER raced tight. HAPPY ALUMNI made the turn after the 600 Metres awkwardly. NICE KICK, which was following, was inconvenienced in consequence. At the entrance to the Straight, HAPPY ALUMNI was shifted in away from the heels of NEXTMODEL which lay in under pressure and commenced to give ground. At the 200 Metres, HAPPY ALUMNI was directed to the outside of the heels of POWERMAX to obtain clear running. Passing the 200 Metres, WAYFOONG CHARMER raced tight between HARBOUR ALERT and HOLEE MONEY which shifted out. After the 100 Metres, NICE KICK was momentarily awkwardly placed outside the heels of SUPER WINNER. A veterinary inspection of NEXTMODEL, WAYFOONG CHARMER and HOLEE MONEY immediately following the race did not show any significant findings. GUNNAR and HAPPY ALUMNI were sent for sampling. <28/11/2019 Additional Veterinary Report>HOLEE MONEY, which performed poorly, was examined by the Veterinary Officer who said at that time there were no significant findings. HOLEE MONEY was again examined by the Veterinary Surgeon at the stables of Trainer A T Millard this morning. He said at this time he noted the horse to have a left front tendon injury. Before being allowed to race again, HOLEE MONEY will be subjected to an official veterinary examination.
