Incident Report
Bumped on jumping by QUICK CONTRIBUTION and became unbalanced. The performance of MR JUSTICE, which finished tailed out, was considered unacceptable. As this was the second consecutive occasion that the horse had finished tailed out, MR JUSTICE will be required to perform to the satisfaction of the Stewards in consecutive barrier trials and be subjected to an official veterinary examination which must include additional diagnostic assessments. A veterinary inspection immediately following the race found that horse to be making an abnormal respiratory noise.
