He was advised that if he detects any abnormality with the gelding during the week, he would be expected to report back to the Stewards. Trainer PK Leong was reminded of his obligations under MRA Rule 117(3) regarding ‘in-and-out’ running. A post-race veterinary examination of MAYWEATHER revealed no obvious abnormality.
