RACE 1 (R784) CLASS 5 (A) – 1400M

QUEEN FORCE (R Rueven) was obliged to race wide on the turn.
Jockey AM Aizat, the rider of COUNTRY LAW and Jockey R Rueven, the rider of QUEEN FORCE, both reported that their mounts were not striding out freely. Post-race veterinary examinations of COUNTRY LAW and QUEEN FORCE revealed no obvious abnormality. QUEEN FORCE which raced poorly, will be required to pass a test (1000M/vet) before being declared to race again.
Jockey K Eirwan, the rider of SING DARCI , was shown the video of the start and he was warned by the Stewards that in future, he would be expected to make a greater attempt to jump his horse out on terms with the field.
