The Stewards have been provided with written advice from Racing New South Wales that FRIENDS OF KA YING (T370), which raced as ALMALAD in that jurisdiction, wore blinkers in all of its race starts in Australia.
Mr T P Yung, trainer of FRIENDS OF KA YING, has requested he be permitted to race the horse in blinkers without it being subjected to a blinkers test. Mr Yung 's request has been approved.
