RAINBOW CHIC was withdrawn on 6.2.15 by order of the Stewards acting on veterinary advice (sore right fore fetlock). MILITARY ATTACK was also withdrawn on 6.2.15 by order of the Stewards acting on veterinary advice (inappetence). Before being allowed to race again, RAINBOW CHIC and MILITARY ATTACK will both be subjected to an official veterinary examination. After being loaded, KHAYA became fractious and repeatedly kicked out the back gates. KHAYA was removed from the barriers and examined by the Veterinary Surgeon who said in his opinion it was suitable to race. Having regard to KHAYA’s prior record in respect of its barrier manners, the Stewards ruled that the horse must barrier trial satisfactorily prior to its next race start. KHAYA was slow to begin. BUBBLE CHIC began very awkwardly and shortly after the start stumbled. After the race, the Veterinary Officer reported that BUBBLE CHIC had sustained an overreach injury to the outside of the left front heel bulb. Passing the 1300 Metres, BUBBLE CHIC was momentarily crowded for room inside KHAYA (K Teetan) which shifted in. K Teetan was reprimanded and advised to exercise more care in similar circumstances. PACKING LLAREGYB had difficulty obtaining clear running in the early part of the Straight. Passing the 100 Metres, ENDOWING was steadied when crowded for room between DESIGNS ON ROME which shifted in marginally and PACKING LLAREGYB (M Demuro) which shifted out. M Demuro was reprimanded and advised to exercise more care in future. Over the concluding stages, KHAYA got its head on the side and lay out towards the heels of HELENE SUPER STAR. DESIGNS ON ROME and PACKING LLAREGYB were sent for sampling. <9/2/2015 Additional Veterinary Report>The Clinical Veterinary Surgeon reported that WILLIE CAZALS had a swollen left front tendon on the morning after racing.
