AWESOME TREASURE (E435): After the race, Apprentice E C W Wong stated that his instructions were to lead. He said despite riding his mount along in the early stages, he was unable to cross runners to his inside and as a consequence he elected to obtain a position with cover behind SPICY KNUCKLES. He added AWESOME TREASURE travelled satisfactorily in this position and after making contact with CAPTAIN WIN after the 450 Metres when he shifted out to improve, AWESOME TREASURE failed to respond to his riding in the Home Straight. A veterinary inspection immediately following the race which included an endoscopic examination showed a substantial amount of blood in the horse’s trachea. The performance of AWESOME TREASURE was considered disappointing as compared to its previous race starts. Before being allowed to race again, AWESOME TREASURE will be required to perform to the satisfaction of the Stewards in a barrier trial and be subjected to an official veterinary examination. Sent for sampling post-race. NEBRASKAN (J304): Bumped on the hindquarters shortly after the start. A veterinary inspection immediately following the race did not show any significant findings.
