13/04/2016  Happy Valley  Race 6

After being loaded into the barriers, BREEDERS' STAR became fractious and reared, resulting in its rider, D Whyte, being dislodged. BREEDERS' STAR was removed from the barriers and examined by the Veterinary Officer who said in his opinion it was suitable to race. Before being allowed to race again, BREEDERS' STAR will be required to perform satisfactorily in a stalls test. As the start was effected, AIMING HIGH lifted its front feet off the ground and then shortly after the start shifted in and was awkwardly placed close to the heels of IMPERIAL CHAMPION. SAN NICASIO began awkwardly and stumbled on jumping. From a wide barrier, TANGO FIRE was steadied shortly after the start and shifted across behind runners. Despite being ridden along in the early stages, LUCKY DAY failed to muster speed. AIMING HIGH made the turn near the 1000 Metres awkwardly and shifted out towards the heels of IMPERIAL CHAMPION. Making the first turn after the 1000 Metres, COUR VALANT got its head on the side and lay out. In the early part of the Straight, BACK IN BLACK and SKY HERO raced tight and came into contact as BACK IN BLACK shifted out to obtain clear running. Throughout the race, MISSION POSSIBLE travelled wide and without cover. A veterinary inspection of BREEDERS' STAR immediately following the race did not show any significant findings. BACK IN BLACK and ALL GREAT FRIENDS were sent for sampling.
