28/11/2012  Happy Valley  Race 8

After being loaded and prior to the start being effected, WINDICATOR POWER became fractious and broke through the front gates. WINDICATOR POWER was returned to the barriers and examined by the Veterinary Officer who said in his opinion it was suitable to race. Before being allowed to race again, WINDICATOR POWER will be required to perform satisfactorily in a stalls test. WINDICATOR POWER was then slow to begin. CHOICE TREASURE was checked on jumping when crowded for room between FINAL ANSWER and CHARITY SPIRIT which shifted in. In this incident, CHOICE TREASURE made heavy contact with the hindquarters of FINAL ANSWER, resulting in that horse becoming badly unbalanced. From the outside barrier, GO BABY GO was taken across behind runners shortly after the start. At the entrance to the Straight, ALL VICTORY was awkwardly placed close to the heels of HANDSOME HANDSOME. Throughout the race, AMEDEO travelled wide and without cover and in the Straight gave ground. A veterinary inspection of HANDSOME HANDSOME and ALL VICTORY after the race did not show any significant findings. GOOD BOY BOY, LONDON CHINA TOWN and CHARITY SPIRIT were sent for sampling. <29/11/2012 Additional Veterinary Report>ALL VICTORY, which performed poorly, was examined by the Veterinary Officer. He said at that time there were no significant findings. ALL VICTORY was again examined by the Veterinary Officer at the stables of Trainer A S Cruz this morning. He said at this time he noted the horse to be lame in its left front leg. Before being allowed to race again, ALL VICTORY will be subjected to an official veterinary examination.
