RACE 1 (R1353) CLASS 5 (B) – 1600M
SATELLITE TURBO (App CK Khaw) was slow into stride.

A post-race veterinary examination revealed that SUPER RED bled and since it is SUPER RED’s second bleeding attack, the gelding will be barred from racing for a period of six (6) months under MRA Rule 92(5)(a), (b) & (c) and thereafter will be required to pass a bleeder’s test before being declared to race again.
The Club Veterinary Surgeon reported that SATELLITE TURBO returned exhibiting signs of respiratory distress and as such, will be required to pass a test (1000M/vet) before being declared to race again.
