RACE 6 (255)

Jumped well from gate 1, sent forward to take the lead, led by 1/2L turning in, kept on well in straight but unable to hold off the winner close home.

Incident Report
When questioned regarding the improved performance, Trainer K H Ting stated that since being transferred to his stable he had identified that GOOD LUCK WIN was not comfortable racing around other horses and for this reason he reapplied blinkers to the horse. He said this together with GOOD LUCK WIN being assisted by the early stages of the event being run outside of standard time were the reasons for the horse’s improved performance tonight. Sent for sampling post-race.

A veterinary inspection immediately following the race did not show any significant findings.

Incident Report
