FOURAWARRIOR, which performed poorly, was examined by the Veterinary Officer who said at that time the horse was displaying an irregular heart rhythm.  FOURAWARRIOR was again examined by the Veterinary Officer at the stables of Trainer D A Hayes this morning.  He said at this time he noted the horse to be lame in its right front leg.  As previously advised, FOURAWARRIOR will be required to perform satisfactorily in a barrier trial and be subjected to an official veterinary examination before being allowed to race again.

The Veterinary Officer reported that examinations conducted this morning of all other horses inspected during yesterday’s racemeeting were shown to have no significant findings.
