Connections questioned regarding poor performance. |

TRINITY REVIVAL (SU Lim) |
Steadied at the 175M |
|
6 |
OVERSEER (S Rosmizan) |
Trainer questioned regarding apparent improvement. |
The connections of BERLINETTA were questioned regarding the poor performance of the gelding. The rider advised that the gelding had no pace and was unsuited by the nature of the track. Further, he believed that BERLINETTA second-up performances had been poor in the past and showed no interest in the race although he had encouraged the gelding significantly. The Trainer’s representative stated that he could offer no reasoning but suggested that the Course B and the State of Track may have contributed to BERLINETTA’s poor performance today. A post-race veterinary examination of BERLINETTA revealed no significant finding. BERLINETTA will be required to pass a 1000M/vet test before being declared to race again for having poor performance. The gelding was impounded for analytical and veterinary examination.
When questioned regarding the apparent improved performance of OVERSEER, Trainer S Hamilton stated that the mare had not relished the State of Track at its previous run and its only win had been a the Selangor’s track. She was of the opinion that the mare had a liking for the track.
