Incident Report
Had its left hind plate adjusted in the saddling stalls, was examined by the Veterinary Officer and passed suitable to race. After the event, Apprentice P N Wong stated that the instructions were to hold an on-pace position. She said despite riding her mount along in the early stages it did not show sufficient pace to hold a more forward position and as a result was obliged to race wide and without cover for the majority of the event when unable to cross runners to her inside. She added that as a result of the horse racing wide and without cover it was unable to finish the race off under pressure in the Home Straight. A veterinary inspection immediately following the race did not show any significant findings.
