As the start was effected, HAPPY YEAH YEAH stood flat-footed and lost a significant amount of ground. Mr A Lee, the trainer of HAPPY YEAH YEAH, was advised that having regard to HAPPY YEAH YEAH’s previous history in respect of barrier issues, the horse will be required to undergo a series of consecutive official barrier trials before being permitted to race again. Mr Lee was also advised that at any time in the future should HAPPY YEAH YEAH perform in a similar manner, it may be open to the Stewards to recommend to the Board of Stewards that the horse be retired. FABULOUS NOVEMBER, which was fractious in the barriers, blundered on jumping. ROYAL PARTNER was shifted across behind runners in the early stages. Approaching the 800 Metres, FABULOUS NOVEMBER was checked away from the heels of RUMBA KING. Near the 300 Metres, O Doleuze (TURIN PEARL) dropped his left rein. Throughout the race, RUMBA KING travelled wide and without cover. After the race, Z Purton reported that after being obliged to race wide and without cover for a good portion of the race, FABULOUS NOVEMBER then weakened out of the race in the Home Straight. A veterinary inspection of FABULOUS NOVEMBER immediately following the race did not show any significant findings. A veterinary inspection of MULTIVICTORY immediately following the race did not show any significant findings. DOMINEER and TURIN PEARL were sent for sampling.
