Racing Incident Report
PACKING WINNER began awkwardly. For some distance after the 1000 Metres, ARMADA, which was proving difficult to settle and racing with its head on the side, was steadied away from the heels of EXPRESS WIN. At the 500 Metres, MORE BOUNTIFUL was carried wider by VIVA PATACA which was shifting towards the outside of SUNNY KING. Shortly after this, VIVA PATACA got its head up when being steadied away from the heels of SUNNY KING which drifted out. Prior to straightening, MORE BOUNTIFUL was steadied when awkwardly placed between VIVA PATACA and FELLOWSHIP. At the 200 Metres, SIGHT WINNER, which was having difficulty obtaining clear running, was shifted to the inside of VIVA PATACA, then after the 50 Metres was momentarily steadied away from the heels of VIVA PATACA. PACKING WINNER and SUNNY KING were sent for an official veterinary inspection. A veterinary inspection of PACKING WINNER after the race did not show any significant findings. After the race, SUNNY KING was examined by the Veterinary Officer. He said the horse was displaying an irregular heart rhythm. As this was the second occasion on which has been reported to have suffered an episode of an irregular heart rhythm, the horse will now be barred from racing for six months. Prior to racing again, SUNNY KING will be required to perform satisfactorily in an official barrier trial and be subjected to an official veterinary examination. VIVA PATACA, MORE BOUNTIFUL and FELLOWSHIP were sent for sampling.
