The Stewards have been provided with written advice from The Queensland Racing Integrity Commission that CHIU CHOW SPIRIT, which raced as Twin Stars prior to being imported into Hong Kong, wore blinkers when it raced in that jurisdiction.

Mr T P Yung, trainer of CHIU CHOW SPIRIT, has requested he be permitted to race the horse in blinkers without it being subjected to a blinkers test. Mr Yung’s request has been approved.
