THANKS FOREVER was steadied in the early stages to obtain cover.
Passing the 900 Metres, JOLLY BANNER and THANKS FOREVER raced tight.
After the race, Z Purton stated that, in his opinion, THANKS FOREVER’s failure to close off the race over the concluding stages was attributable to the fact that the horse was stepping up in distance to 1400 Metres and carrying top weight today. A veterinary inspection of THANKS FOREVER immediately following the race did not show any significant findings.
Also after the race, an endoscopic examination was conducted on PERFECT MATCH at the request of Trainer C S Shum. The Veterinary Surgeon reported that this examination showed a substantial amount of blood in the horse's trachea. Before being allowed to race again, PERFECT MATCH will be subjected to an official veterinary examination.
JOLLY BANNER and PERFECT MATCH were sent for sampling.
