Racing Incident Report
Race Three: (447) - CITIGOLD HANDICAP - Class 2 - 1600Meters
BEAUTY LIVE was withdrawn on 23.2.23 by order of the Stewards acting on veterinary advice (lame right fore).
Before being allowed to race again, BEAUTY LIVE will be subjected to an official veterinary examination.
FANTASTIC TREASURE jumped awkwardly.
From a wide barrier, CHEERFUL DAYS was shifted across behind runners in the early stages and had difficulty obtaining clear running between the 450 Metres and the 350 Metres.
MR ASCENDENCY was left racing wide and without cover after the 900 Metres.
After the race, S De Sousa (MR ASCENDENCY) stated that when his mount was placed under pressure in the Straight, it failed to respond to his riding which he attributed to today's "Good to Firm??surface.
A veterinary inspection of MR ASCENDENCY immediately following the race did not show any significant findings.
BEAUTY ETERNAL and CALIFORNIA TEN were sent for sampling.
Recap by phillip woo
Firming at short odds-on, Beauty Eternal won with plenty in hand after cruising to the front 250m out following a speed-chasing run behind the leading pair. He's headed to bigger and better things following a fourth win from five starts. California Ten dashed late down the outside to just edge Spirited Express for second after a patient ride one from the rear. He's placed in his past three and can return to the winner's circle at any moment. Spirited Express ran on nicely from better than midfield to just miss second by a bob of the heads. He's run well in back-to-back starts over 1,600m after a 1,800m win in December. All For St Paul's lost a placing late after getting challenged by The Rock for the lead 850m out. He rarely produces a bad run over this trip. Fantastic Treasure made some ground after peeling off the tiring The Rock 150m out from midfield. He had an excuse and the big weight did not help. Cheerful Days made some ground from the rear of the field. Mr Ascendency finished a long last after a handy run wide without cover. He had an excuse and is more effective over 1,400m.
