Incident Report
After the event, B Avdulla reported that in the early and middle stages his mount resented racing in amongst other horses and as a result near the 600 Metres shifted out and made heavy contact with SOVEREIGN FUND. A veterinary inspection immediately following the race found that horse to have sustained an abrasion to the left hock. The racing manners of NEBRASKAN were considered unacceptable. Before being allowed to race again, NEBRASKAN will be required to perform satisfactorily in a barrier trial around a bend in Hong Kong inside other horses.

Slightly slow out, raced at rear throughout, never a factor.
