EXCEL DELIGHT was withdrawn on 26.5.20 by order of the Stewards acting on veterinary advice (lame left fore) and was replaced by Standby Declared Starter STOCK LEGEND (C Schofield). Before being allowed to race again, EXCEL DELIGHT will be subjected to an official veterinary examination. STOCK LEGEND was slow to begin. PEARL CHAMPION and MASTERWORK bumped at the start. JADE THEATRE shifted out at the start and bumped SUNSHINE UNIVERSE. After this, despite being hard ridden in the early stages, SUNSHINE UNIVERSE failed to muster speed and then in the middle stages became detached from the field. Approaching the 800 Metres, STOCK LEGEND momentarily raced in restricted room inside ADONIS which was racing tight inside ANONYMA. Approaching the 600 Metres, JADE THEATRE was steadied away from the heels of ANONYMA after being awkwardly placed behind that horse which was giving ground. Near the 350 Metres, MASTERWORK shifted out and made contact with THOU SHALL SING. Throughout the race, GOOD LUCK MONEY travelled wide and without cover. A veterinary inspection of STOCK LEGEND immediately following the race did not show any significant findings. THOU SHALL SING and PEARL CHAMPION were sent for sampling. <28/5/2020 Additional Veterinary Report>The Veterinary Surgeon reported that SUNSHINE UNIVERSE was lame in its both front legs on the morning after racing. Before being allowed to race again, SUNSHINE UNIVERSE will be subjected to an official veterinary examination.
