CHATER GOLD (J004): A veterinary inspection immediately following the race which included an endoscopic examination showed a substantial amount of blood in the horse’s trachea. Before being allowed to race again, CHATER GOLD will be subjected to an official veterinary examination. MEEPMEEP (H234): Jumped only fairly. Leaving the 400 Metres made contact with JOYFUL CHAMPION when it was shifted to the outside of HARRY’S HERO to obtain clear running. Was then held up for clear running between the 350 Metres and the 200 Metres. SUPER TREASURE (J211): No report. YODA'S CHOICE (J146): Sent for sampling post-race. SMART BEAUTY (G477): In the middle stages raced keenly. For some distance near the 1200 Metres was steadied away from HARRY’S HERO. Lay in under pressure in the Home Straight and leaving the 250 Metres raced in restricted room to the inside of CHATER GOLD. SMART ZIPANG (J165): Near the 1600 Metres became unbalanced when momentarily racing tight to the inside of MEEPMEEP. COLOURFUL BARON (G301): After the event, K Teetan reported that his mount was obliged to race very wide and without cover for the majority of the race and as a result was left without a finishing effort in the Home Straight. A veterinary inspection immediately following the race did not show any significant findings. The performance of COLOURFUL BARON, which finished tailed out, was considered unacceptable. Before being allowed to race again, COLOURFUL BARON will be required to perform to the satisfaction of the Stewards in a barrier trial and be subjected to an official veterinary examination. TRADITION (J111): No report. FIRE BALL (D087): No report. ON THE LASH (J182): Jumped awkwardly and lost ground. From a wide barrier was shifted across behind runners in the early stages. Over the final 100 Metres could not be ridden out when positioned behind SUPER TREASURE which was giving ground. HARRY'S HERO (H332): Raced wide and without cover until near the 800 Metres. YEABOI (G372): Shortly after the start was crowded by SMART BEAUTY which shifted out. From a wide barrier was shifted across behind runners in the early stages. Sent for sampling post-race. TURTLE AGAIN (H083): Jumped awkwardly and lost ground. A veterinary inspection immediately following the race did not show any significant findings. JOYFUL CHAMPION (G072): Bumped after the 400 Metres. After the event, M L Yeung confirmed that from the outside barrier his instructions were to take up a forward position to offset the wide draw. Trainer C W Chang confirmed the instructions issued. YOU'REMYEVERYTHING (E413): YOU’REMYEVERYTHING, Standby Declared Starter, was withdrawn on 25.3.25 by order of the Stewards acting on veterinary advice (lame right fore).
