Incident Report
Bumped on jumping. Raced wide and without cover for the majority of the event. Reported by the Veterinary Surgeon to have blood at the left nostril after the race. An endoscopic examination confirmed the horse to be a bleeder. Before being allowed to race again, SANTORINI will be required to perform satisfactorily in a barrier trial and be subjected to an official veterinary examination.

Average to begin, raced towards rear on the inside, saved ground on turn, showed limited response early in straight, weakened gradually final 100M.

Began only fairly from a wide draw, raced behind midfield on the outside, 4 to 5 lengths back turning in, showed limited response early in straight, made contact near 200M, eased thereafter. (See Racing Incidents.)

Incident Report
Jumped only fairly. Near the 400 Metres lay in and as a result was steadied to avoid CHEER FOR SOUTH. Near the 200 Metres was bumped by GENERAL SMART which shifted out. As a result HAPPY TANGO then could not be ridden out for some distance thereafter when positioned close to SANTORINI. Trainer Y S Tsui advised the instructions were to take up a more forward position but despite being ridden along in the early stages failed to show sufficient pace to hold a more forward position.
