Incident Report
After the event, M Chadwick reported that as the start was effected his mount lunged forward slightly which resulted in HAPPY HUNK bounding on jumping and losing ground. He said as a result HAPPY HUNK settled further back in the field than what had been intended and this was the principal reason for the horse’s disappointing performance. A veterinary inspection immediately following the race which included an endoscopic examination showed a substantial amount of blood in the horse’s trachea. Before being allowed to race again, HAPPY HUNK will be subjected to an official veterinary examination.
