Incident Report
L Ferraris could offer no explanation for the horse’s disappointing performance. Trainer M Newnham advised the horse had pleased him since its last start. He said CLOUD NINE may not have appreciated backing up within a 11-day period and he would now look to space the horse’s runs in future. A veterinary inspection immediately following the race did not show any significant findings. The performance of CLOUD NINE was considered disappointing as compared to its previous race starts. Before being allowed to race again, CLOUD NINE will be required to perform to the satisfaction of the Stewards in a barrier trial and be subjected to an official veterinary examination.
