2 K265  THE LION KING  09/09/2026   14  THE LION KING (K265) near the 400M, when under pressure, was checked. Rider stated that his mount was able to obtain the lead in the early stages where it travelled satisfactorily. He said on the Home Turn when pressured by a runner his mount came under pressure and gave ground noticeably thereafter. After the race was examined by the vet who said an endoscopic exam showed a substantial amount of blood in the horse's trachea. Finished tailed out and performance was considered unacceptable. Has since performed satisfactorily in a barrier trial and passed an official vet exam - Race 014.
