NEW ASIA SUNRISE, which was fractious in the barriers, began very awkwardly and shifted in, resulting in PURE MOMENTUM being crowded for room outside SPARKLING TALENT which was positioned tight outside TRIUMPHANT JEWEL. In this incident, NEW ASIA SUNRISE became very unbalanced. Shortly after the start, FAY DEEP raced tight between BEAUTY KINGDOM and WINFULL PATROL. Over the final 200 Metres, LUCKY CELEBRITY lay out under pressure. WINFULL PATROL was unable to obtain clear running until approaching the 100 Metres. Over the concluding stages, E-SUPER got its head on the side and lay out under pressure. After the race, the Veterinary Officer reported that PURE MOMENTUM had sustained a wound to the left hind leg. Also after the race, an endoscopic examination was conducted on SIGHT BELIEVER at the request of Trainer D J Hall. The Veterinary Surgeon reported that this examination showed a substantial amount of blood in the horse's trachea. Before being allowed to race again, SIGHT BELIEVER will be subjected to an official veterinary examination. A veterinary inspection of THOR THE GREATEST immediately following the race did not show any significant findings. SO FAST and LUCKY CELEBRITY were sent for sampling. <21/9/2015 Additional Veterinary Report>After the race, an endoscopic examination was conducted on SIGHT BELIEVER at the request of Trainer D J Hall.
