Incident Report
C Y Ho reported that the instructions were to endeavour to find a position three wide with cover. He said throughout the event he was unable to comply with the instructions which resulted in SKY VINO having to race wide and without cover for the majority of the event. He added he was of the view it would have been detrimental to the horse to go forward as he would have had to make too much use of it in the early stages to do so. A veterinary inspection immediately following the race did not show any significant findings.
