The Stewards this morning spoke with Mr J Moore, the trainer of VIVA PATACA. Mr Moore had unsuccessfully endeavoured to contact the Stewards yesterday. Mr Moore said VIVA PATACA had sustained an injury to its right front foot during track work yesterday as a result of an incident involving another horse. Mr Moore advised the Stewards he had worked VIVA PATACA this morning in accordance with the horse's scheduled programme and in his opinion it was suitable to start in the Citi Champions & Chater Cup to be run at Sha Tin this Sunday 25 May 2008.

At the direction of the Stewards, Dr K H Lam, Veterinary Officer, this afternoon examined VIVA PATACA at the stables of Mr Moore. Dr Lam said the horse in his opinion at this time is suitable to fulfil its engagement in the Citi Champions & Chater Cup. VIVA PATACA will continue to be monitored in the lead up to Sunday's race.
