11/05/2016  Happy Valley  Race 8

From the outside barriers, BACK IN BLACK, GOLDEN ACHIEVER and HONG KONG CAPTAIN were steadied in the early stages and shifted across behind runners. Near the 1150 Metres, ROUNDABOUT was steadied when crowded for room inside WILD BOY which got its head on the side and shifted in away from TIMELY ARRIVED which shifted in marginally before being corrected by its rider. As the Stewards were satisfied that there was no carelessness exhibited by any rider in this incident, no further action was taken. Passing the 900 Metres, BACK IN BLACK momentarily raced in restricted room inside FOREVER RED which got its head on the side and lay in towards the heels of ROUNDABOUT. After the 800 Metres, SUPREME FALCON was left racing wide and without cover and in the Straight gave ground. Passing the 600 Metres, ALL WIN BOY was awkwardly placed close to the heels of BACK IN BLACK. Passing the 300 Metres, TIMELY ARRIVED raced tight inside MULTIMAX which lay in. Near the 150 Metres, ALL GREAT FRIENDS was brushed by BACK IN BLACK which improved into tight running between that horse and MULTIMAX. WILD BOY was not able to obtain clear running at any stage in the Straight and consequently was not able to be properly tested. A veterinary inspection of SUPREME FALCON immediately following the race found that horse to be lame in its left front leg. Before being allowed to race again, SUPREME FALCON will be subjected to an official veterinary examination. A veterinary inspection of ALL WIN BOY and ROUNDABOUT immediately following the race did not show any significant findings. BACK IN BLACK and FOREVER RED were sent for sampling. <12/5/2016 Additional Veterinary Report>ALL WIN BOY, which performed poorly, was examined by the Veterinary Officer.
