19/01/2022  Happy Valley  Race 6

On arrival at the Start, it was noted that BEAUTY JOY had blood in its mouth. BEAUTY JOY was examined by the Veterinary Officer and passed suitable to race. SUNSHINE WARRIOR was slow to begin. SUNNY STAR stumbled at the start, shifted out and bumped SOLAR WAI WAI. From the outside barriers, ROCKET SPADE and C P BRAVE were steadied in the early stages to obtain cover. After the 1400 Metres, SOLAR WAI WAI was awkwardly placed close to the heels of BEAR AGAIN. Passing the 1100 Metres, TSAR was steadied away from the heels of BEAR AGAIN which shifted out away from behind TELECOM FIGHTERS. At the entrance to the Straight, TSAR shifted out and bumped SAVAQUIN. TSAR was then crowded for room passing the 300 Metres between SAVAQUIN and BEAR AGAIN which shifted out. Also at the entrance to the Straight, BEAUTY JOY was shifted out away from the heels of SOLAR WAI WAI. Passing the 200 Metres, SUNSHINE WARRIOR was awkwardly placed outside the heels of TSAR which got its head on the side and lay out despite the efforts of its rider. After the race, H Bentley expressed concern regarding the action of BEAR AGAIN following the race. A veterinary inspection of BEAR AGAIN immediately following the race did not show any significant findings. Before being allowed to race again, BEAR AGAIN will be subjected to an official veterinary examination. A veterinary inspection of C P BRAVE immediately following the race did not show any significant findings. BEAUTY JOY and SAVAQUIN were sent for sampling.
