He added, in his opinion, KA YING VICTORY may have been feeling the effects of the manner in which it jumped and he had concerns with its action. A veterinary inspection immediately following the race found that horse to be lame in its right front leg. Before being allowed to race again, KA YING VICTORY will be subjected to an official veterinary examination. <17/4/2025 Additional Veterinary Report>KA YING VICTORY, which performed disappointingly, was examined by the Veterinary Officer who said at that time the horse was found to be lame in its right front leg.

As previously advised, KA YING VICTORY will be subjected to an official veterinary examination before being allowed to race again.
