26/12/2018  Happy Valley  Race 2

GENTRY and TENNESSEE BOSS were shifted across behind runners in the early stages. At the 600 Metres, WINNERS PIONEER was checked when tightened for room inside PERFECT TO PLAY which got its head on the side and hung in despite the efforts of its rider. PERFECT TO PLAY continued to lay in making the turn after the 600 Metres. Passing the 600 Metres, SUPER EURO STAR lay in and brushed the running rail. From approaching the 500 Metres until near the Home Turn, HAPPY WARRIOR was held up and unable to improve when awkwardly placed behind SUPER EURO STAR which came under pressure and commenced to lose ground. At the entrance to the Straight, TENNESSEE BOSS and PERFECT TO PLAY raced tight as PERFECT TO PLAY improved to the outside of CHAPARRAL STAR to obtain clear running. A veterinary inspection of GENTRY and SUPER EURO STAR immediately following the race did not show any significant findings. POLYMER LUCK and HAPPY WARRIOR were sent for sampling. <27/12/2018 Additional Veterinary Report>SUPER EURO STAR, which performed poorly, was examined by the Veterinary Officer who said at that time there were no significant findings. SUPER EURO STAR was again examined by the Veterinary Officer at the stables of Trainer C W Chang this morning. He said at this time he noted the horse to be lame in its right front leg. Before being allowed to race again, SUPER EURO STAR will be subjected to an official veterinary examination.
