Racing Incident Report

On arrival at the Start, it was noted that SPEEDY CHARIOT had lost its right front plate. This plate was refitted. SPEEDY CHARIOT was examined by the Veterinary Officer who said in his opinion it was suitable to race.
DASHING TRIUMPH jumped awkwardly, shifted out and made contact with the hindquarters of SWEET BRIAR, resulting in both runners becoming unbalanced.
FORTE jumped awkwardly and lost ground.
SPARKLING DOLPHIN jumped awkwardly.
HEALTHY HEALTHY jumped awkwardly and then shortly after the start was crowded by SPEEDY FORTUNE which shifted out, resulting in HEALTHY HEALTHY making contact with the hindquarters of GENEROUS FRIEND.
Passing the 800 Metres, HEALTHY HEALTHY, which was having its first race start and inclined to race ungenerously, was steadied when crowded for room between SPEEDY FORTUNE which shifted in slightly and REGENCY STAR (A Hamelin) which shifted out slightly. A Hamelin was advised to exercise more care.
Approaching the 400 Metres, EQUILIBRIUM TURBO was hampered when racing in restricted room between SPEEDY FORTUNE and HEALTHY HEALTHY which shifted out slightly.
When questioned regarding his riding of SPEEDY CHARIOT, K Teetan stated that from a wide barrier Trainer D J Whyte asked him to ride SPEEDY CHARIOT in a conservative manner in the early stages and find cover as it was dropping back in distance from its first race start whereby SPEEDY CHARIOT had raced in an on-pace position and was left without a finishing effort. He said after beginning well he was able to follow the favourite in the event, EQUILIBRIUM TURBO, whereby SPEEDY CHARIOT travelled well. He added that near the 400 Metres he became momentarily held up on the heels of EQUILIBRIUM TURBO before shifting to the inside and obtaining clear running after which SPEEDY CHARIOT ran on strongly. When questioned if there was an opportunity to hold a more forward position in the early stages, K Teetan stated that given his instructions he felt he would have had to make too much use of SPEEDY CHARIOT to hold a more forward position and therefore he was content to follow EQUILIBRIUM TURBO. Mr Whyte confirmed the instructions were to find cover as SPEEDY CHARIOT gave ground after racing on pace at its first race start. The Stewards found the tactics adopted by Jockey Teetan were reasonable in the circumstances.
After the race, Z Purton could offer no excuse for the performance of EQUILIBRIUM TURBO. A veterinary inspection of EQUILIBRIUM TURBO immediately following the race did not show any significant findings.
A veterinary inspection of FORTE immediately following the race which included an endoscopic examination showed a substantial amount of mucus in its trachea and also found the horse to be a "roarer” which had previously been reported.
EQUILIBRIUM TURBO, BRILLIANT LIFE and SPEEDY FORTUNE were sent for sampling.
<3/4/2023 Additional Veterinary Reports> FORTE, which performed poorly, was examined by the Veterinary Officer who said at that time an endoscopic examination showed a substantial amount of mucus in its trachea and also found the horse to be a "roarer” which had previously been reported. FORTE was again examined by the Veterinary Officer at the stables of Trainer D A Hayes this morning. He said at this time he noted the horse to be lame in its left hind leg. Before being allowed to race again, FORTE will be subjected to an official veterinary examination.
