Trainer WC Lim was questioned with regards to the improved performance of GOLDEN LIGHTNING (AK Lim) today.  The only explanations he was able to offer is that on its previous run, this horse had not traveled well due to the horse float’s air-conditioner breaking down, which resulted in the horse being slightly distressed.  His attention was drawn to MRA Rule 117(3) regarding ‘in-and-out’ running.

Post-race veterinary examinations of BARBARIAN (App A Azizi) and CIRCUIT STAR revealed no obvious abnormality and EKRAAR PHOENIX had returned lame off fore.  As such, EKRAAR PHOENIX will be required to pass a test (1000M/vet) before being declared to race again.
