12/10/2022  Happy Valley  Race 4

TELECOM FIGHTERS was withdrawn on 10.10.22 by order of the Stewards acting on veterinary advice (fever). SUNNY STAR was withdrawn on raceday morning by order of the Stewards acting on veterinary advice (lame right fore). Before being allowed to race again, TELECOM FIGHTERS and SUNNY STAR will both be subjected to an official veterinary examination. After arriving at the barriers, M Chadwick was dislodged from JUMBO FORTUNE without incident. FA FA and SAVAQUIN were steadied on jumping to obtain cover. After travelling a short distance, CHARITY GO, which was racing tight outside EVERYONE’S DELIGHT which got its head on the side and shifted out, was bumped by BERLIN TANGO which shifted in. Approaching the 400 Metres, FA FA was shifted to the inside of JUMBO FORTUNE which came under pressure. FA FA was then held up for clear running behind CHARITY GO near the 350 Metres. After the race, M Chadwick stated that he was asked to ride JUMBO FORTUNE positively in the early stages and ensure that he was able to clear BERLIN TANGO which was drawn immediately inside his mount. He said after clearing BERLIN TANGO approaching the winning post on the first occasion, JUMBO FORTUNE did not appear to concentrate throughout the race when racing without cover. He said JUMBO FORTUNE came under pressure after the 600 Metres and then did not finish the race off. He added that after the race he recommended to connections that they consider adding blinkers to the gear carried by JUMBO FORTUNE in an attempt to have the horse focus more in its races and also suggested that JUMBO FORTUNE may be better suited when being able to trail another runner. A veterinary inspection of JUMBO FORTUNE immediately following the race did not show any significant findings. FA FA, BERLIN TANGO and EVERYONE’S DELIGHT were sent for sampling.
