D’OR WONGCHOY shifted out at the start and bumped GLORIOUS RYDER. PRESIDENT LINCOLN and VICTORY HERO were crowded for room on jumping between WINNING INSTINCT and SMART BALL which shifted in. PABLOSKY shifted out at the start and bumped SPINNING DANCER which became unbalanced. After this, SPINNING DANCER was shifted across behind runners in the early stages. ASIA RISING and SICHUAN EXEC, from the outside barriers, were also shifted across behind runners shortly after the start. Passing the 1100 Metres, VICTORY HERO broke down in its left hind leg and shifted out abruptly, causing CIRCUIT STAR to be severely hampered when taken wider and SICHUAN EXEC to be severely checked and taken towards the outside rail and consequently losing a considerable amount of ground. After this, CIRCUIT STAR travelled wide and without cover. For some distance after the 1000 Metres, GLORIOUS RYDER proved very difficult to settle and got its head up when being checked away from the heels of D’OR WONGCHOY. Then near the 900 Metres, GLORIOUS RYDER blundered badly after becoming unbalanced when it continued to be checked away from the heels of D’OR WONGCHOY. PRESIDENT LINCOLN, which was following, was shifted out abruptly away from the heels of GLORIOUS RYDER and lost ground. Approaching the 800 Metres, ASIA RISING got its head up when awkwardly placed close to the heels of WINNING MASCOT. At the 500 Metres, GLORIOUS RYDER was shifted out away from behind ASIA RISING. Then in the early part of the Straight, GLORIOUS RYDER was momentarily awkwardly placed close to the heels of that horse. Near the 75 Metres, FANTASTIC KAKA shifted out and brushed LET ME GO. A veterinary inspection of SICHUAN EXEC immediately following the race did not show any significant findings. A veterinary inspection of WINNING INSTINCT immediately following the race revealed that the horse was displaying an irregular heart rhythm. Before being allowed to race again, WINNING INSTINCT will be required to perform satisfactorily in an official barrier trial and be subjected to an official veterinary examination. FANTASTIC KAKA and LET ME GO were sent for sampling. <16/6/2014 Additional Veterinary Report>WINNING INSTINCT, which performed poorly, was examined by the Veterinary Officer. He said at that time he found the horse to be displaying an irregular heart rhythm. WINNING INSTINCT was again examined by the Veterinary Officer at the stables of Trainer C W Chang this morning. He said at this time he found the horse to be lame in its right front leg. As previously advised, WINNING INSTINCT will be required to perform satisfactorily in an official barrier trial and be subjected to an official veterinary examination before being allowed to race again.
