The Stewards have been provided with written advice from Racing Queensland that FALCON TURBO (B164), which raced as Falconic prior to being imported into Hong Kong, wore blinkers in a race conducted in that jurisdiction.

Mr D J Whyte, trainer of FALCON TURBO, has requested he be permitted to race the horse in blinkers without it being subjected to a blinkers test. Mr Whyte’s request has been approved.
