DOUBLE GLORY, which was fractious after being loaded, jumped awkwardly and consequently lost a significant amount of ground. Before being allowed to race again, DOUBLE GLORY will be required to perform satisfactorily in a stalls test. ENTRUSTING and DANEWIN EXPRESS jumped awkwardly. On jumping, BUDDY BUDDIES was steadied when crowded for room between INDUSTRIALIST WAY and CARTOON FAY FAY. GRAND PLUS was slow to begin. After passing the winning post on the first occasion, GRAND PLUS got its head up and raced fiercely when racing tight inside CARTOON FAY FAY. GRAND PLUS then continued to race ungenerously for some distance rounding the first turn and again got its head up approaching the 1200 Metres. Between the 200 Metres and the 100 Metres, ENTRUSTING was held up for clear running. Near the 150 Metres, IMPERIAL CONCORDE was inconvenienced by CARTOON FAY FAY which shifted out momentarily. For the majority of the race, CARTOON FAY FAY and TURBO JEWELLERY travelled wide and without cover. Following the race, B Prebble stated that after travelling comfortably one horse off the rail behind the leaders, he allowed HORSE APLENTY to shift out away from the heels of PO CHING TREASURE at the 800 Metres. He added that HORSE APLENTY from this point onwards changed stride on a number of occasions and became unbalanced in its action and then consequently did not close off the race as he anticipated it would. A veterinary inspection of HORSE APLENTY immediately following the race did not show any significant findings. A veterinary inspection of CARTOON FAY FAY immediately following the race including an endoscopic examination showed a substantial amount of blood in the horse's trachea. Before being allowed to race again, CARTOON FAY FAY will be subjected to an official veterinary examination. A veterinary inspection of VERDANE and GRAND PLUS immediately following the race did not show any significant findings. CARTOON FAY FAY, WINNIE’S HORSE and INDUSTRIALIST WAY were sent for sampling. <8/6/2015 Additional Veterinary Report>After the race, CARTOON FAY FAY was examined by the Veterinary Officer. He said at that time an endoscopic examination showed a substantial amount of blood in the horse’s trachea.
