29/04/2015  Happy Valley  Race 2

Shortly after the start, RED COURAGE momentarily raced in restricted room between GREAT SPEED and MI SAVVY. From the outside barriers, MI SAVVY and HOW SPEEDY were shifted across behind runners in the early stages. Making the turn near the 1000 Metres, DINING STAR travelled keenly. Passing the 1000 Metres, RED COURAGE blundered and lost ground when being checked away from the heels of PROMPT EXPRESS which made the turn awkwardly and shifted out. In this incident, GREAT SPEED was also taken wider by PROMPT EXPRESS. After this, GREAT SPEED was inclined to lay out and travelled wide without cover. After the race, the Veterinary Officer reported that PROMPT EXPRESS had sustained wounds to both hind legs. After the 800 Metres, RED COURAGE was left racing wide and without cover. Near the 250 Metres, DANEWIN TIGER was shifted to the outside of PROMPT EXPRESS to obtain clear running. Passing the 50 Metres, DINING STAR was awkwardly placed outside the heels of TRILLION TREASURE which got its head on the side and shifted out under pressure. A veterinary inspection of RED COURAGE immediately following the race did not show any significant findings, however, the horse was unable to be scoped due to being fractious. THE PRINCE and TRILLION TREASURE were sent for sampling.
