16/09/2020  Happy Valley  Race 7

FLYING PHOTOS and SPRINT FORWARD bumped at the start. From the outside barriers, SPLIT OF A SECOND and ALLOY KING were shifted across behind runners in the early stages. After travelling a short distance, FLYING PHOTOS, which was racing greenly, shifted out, resulting in SPRINT FORWARD being taken out onto COMPASSION STAR which was crowded for room and in turn shifted out and bumped DAILY BEAUTY. For some distance after this, FLYING PHOTOS continued to race greenly, got its head up and after the 1100 Metres shifted out, causing SPRINT FORWARD to be crowded for room inside ORIENTAL ELITE. FLYING PHOTOS then raced erratically and got its head up on a number of occasions and near the 900 Metres got its head on the side and shifted in towards the heels of SUPREME PLUS. FLYING PHOTOS then shifted in abruptly approaching the 850 Metres, resulting in HONEST WAY being hampered when having to be steadied away from the heels of that horse. FLYING PHOTOS continued to race erratically and shifted in passing the 800 Metres, resulting in HONEST WAY losing ground when steadied away from the heels of that horse which continued to get its head up for some distance when awkwardly placed behind SUPREME PLUS. FLYING PHOTOS got its head on the side and lay in making the turn after the 600 Metres, resulting in DAILY BEAUTY becoming unbalanced when awkwardly placed inside that horse. HONEST WAY, which was racing to the outside of DAILY BEAUTY, lost ground when crowded for rom between ORIENTAL ELITE and DAILY BEAUTY which shifted out when unbalanced. RUN THE TABLE, which was racing outside HONEST WAY, was inconvenienced in consequence. The racing manners of FLYING PHOTOS were considered unacceptable. Before being allowed to race again, FLYING PHOTOS will be required to perform satisfactorily in a barrier trial around a bend. After the 800 Metres, ORIENTAL ELITE was left racing wide and without cover. Passing the 500 Metres, SPLIT OF A SECOND became unbalanced when reluctant to improve into tight running inside HONEST WAY. Approaching the 200 Metres, COMPASSION STAR shifted out and bumped FLYING PHOTOS. Near the 50 Metres, COMPASSION STAR was momentarily awkwardly placed outside SPRINT FORWARD which shifted out away from the heels of DAILY BEAUTY. A veterinary inspection of SPRINT FORWARD and ALLOY KING immediately following the race did not show any significant findings. SELL MY SOLE, SUPREME PLUS and HAPPY GOOD GUYS were sent for sampling.
