Post-race vet inspection did not show any significant findings - Race 645.
7 H354  SPECIAL HEDGE  17/05/2026   694  SPECIAL HEDGE (H354) approaching the 700M was steadied. Rider stated that he was unable to improve in the middle stages when racing behind a runner.

8 K500  GOLDEN FORTUNE  09/05/2026   676  GOLDEN FORTUNE (K500) jumped awkwardly. Near the 900M was steadied and shifted out to avoid a runner when that runner was being retired from the event. After the race was examined by the vet who found that horse to have blood at the right nostril. An endoscopic examination conducted on the horse found that there was no blood in its trachea and therefore the blood in the nostril was determined to be not coming from the lungs and as such the horse was deemed not to have bled - Race 676.
