15/04/2012  Happy Valley  Race 5

YUAN’S FORTUNE was slow to begin. Passing the winning post on the first occasion, HAPPY SCORE became unbalanced when racing inside NOBLE SAIL which itself was awkwardly placed inside the heels of MAGNANIMOUS. In the Straight, OUR DYNASTY raced with its head on the side and lay in. The performance of NOBLE SAIL, which finished tailed out, was considered unacceptable. Before being allowed to race again, NOBLE SAIL will be required to perform to the satisfaction of the Stewards in an official barrier trial and be subjected to an official veterinary examination. Throughout the race, CHANCELLOR travelled wide and without cover and prior to the Home Turn commenced to give ground. After the race, an endoscopic examination was conducted on WHAT A HEART at the request of Trainer C S Shum. The Veterinary Surgeon said this examination showed a substantial amount of blood in the horse's trachea. Before being allowed to race again, WHAT A HEART will be subjected to an official veterinary examination. A veterinary inspection of CHANCELLOR and NOBLE SAIL after the race did not show any significant findings. OUR DYNASTY, JUGGERNAUT and BILLION were sent for sampling.
