Race 3 – SLEDGE HAMMER

SLEDGE HAMMER, which performed poorly, was examined by the Veterinary Officer who said at that time an endoscopic examination showed a substantial amount of blood in the horse’s trachea.  SLEDGE HAMMER was again examined by the Veterinary Officer at the stables of Trainer D Cruz this morning.  He said at this time he noted the horse to be sore in its left front suspensory.  As previously advised, SLEDGE HAMMER will be subjected to an official veterinary examination before being allowed to race again.

The Veterinary Officer reported that examinations conducted this morning of all other horses inspected during yesterday’s racemeeting were shown to have no significant findings.
