RACE 1 – STRATHBARRY

After the race, an endoscopic examination was conducted on STRATHBARRY at the request of Trainer T P Yung. The Veterinary Surgeon said this examination showed a substantial amount of blood in the horse’s trachea. Before being allowed to race again, STRATHBARRY will be subjected to an official veterinary examination.

RACE 8 – NERVOUS WITNESS

NERVOUS WITNESS, which performed disappointingly, was examined by the Veterinary Officer who said at that time there were no significant findings. NERVOUS WITNESS 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. After considering the veterinary report, the Stewards have determined that the requirement for NERVOUS WITNESS to barrier trial be removed, however, it will be required to undertake a post-gallop 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.
