Incident Report
Y L Chung stated that the instructions were to go forward and lead if possible. He said despite riding his mount along in the early stages it failed to show sufficient pace to do so and settled in a position further back than anticipated. He added that PARENTS’ LOVE did not travel well throughout the event before giving ground in the Home Straight. Trainer A S Cruz stated that he had been pleased with the horse in the lead up to the race. He said PARENTS’ LOVE was disadvantaged by not being able to lead tonight’s race and, in his opinion, this was the reason for tonight’s performance. A veterinary inspection immediately following the race did not show any significant findings. The performance of PARENTS’ LOVE was considered disappointing. Before being allowed to race again, PARENTS’ LOVE will be required to perform to the satisfaction of the Stewards in a barrier trial and be subjected to an official veterinary examination.
