21/01/2015  Happy Valley  Race 1

When proving difficult to load, DANEWIN WINNING made contact with the starting gates. DANEWIN WINNING was examined by the Veterinary Officer and passed suitable to race. Before being allowed to race again, DANEWIN WINNING will be required to perform satisfactorily in a stalls test. NEW PET began only fairly. HAPPILY TIME began awkwardly and shortly after the start was hampered when steadied away from the heels of GRACYTOM which was taken in by MR AWARD. SECRET IDENTITY shifted in at the start and bumped the hindquarters of KING TAI SING. From wide barriers, CHINA GOOD and WINNING BOY were shifted across behind runners in the early stages. EAGLE KING was steadied in the early stages to obtain a position with cover. In the early stages, FRESH AIR hung in despite the efforts of its rider and then making the turn near the 1050 Metres shifted in and bumped SECRET IDENTITY. After the 700 Metres, GRACYTOM and SECRET IDENTITY raced tight. SECRET IDENTITY, which for the majority of the race travelled wide and without cover, made the turn after the 600 Metres awkwardly. Approaching the 400 Metres, WINNING BOY was steadied after being disappointed for tight running between CHINA GOOD and FRESH AIR. After the 200 Metres, WINNING BOY was shifted to the inside of EAGLE KING after being disappointed for running between that horse and NEW PET which was shifting in. WINNING BOY was then unable to obtain clear running between EAGLE KING and CHINA GOOD for the remainder of the race and consequently was not able to be tested. Over the concluding stages, NEW PET raced tight between EAGLE KING and DANEWIN WINNING which shifted in marginally. A veterinary inspection of SECRET IDENTITY and FRESH AIR immediately following the race did not show any significant findings. HAPPILY TIME, LYRIC ACE and KING TAI SING were sent for sampling.
