Medical Certificate produced today: Katelyn Mallyon Race 1 - RACE-TECH PLATE - 1000 metres: Royal Riches - inside the final 200m changed stride on several occasions and shifted out under pressure over the concluding stages and a subsequent veterinary examination failed to reveal any abnormalities. Faction - rider Matthew Allen was questioned regarding his tactics rounding the home turn and for some distance in the home straight, concerning his lack of vigour prior to the 200m and he explained that trainer Mr Robbie Griffiths had advised him the filly only has a short sprint and poorly winded and for this reason he rode his mount accordingly based on his instructions. He added that the filly had peaked on its run over the concluding stages and in his view jarred up on todays track surface and didnt feel right in its action. Mr Griffiths confirmed the instructions as the filly had been disappointing last preparation and whilst in future may be ridden closer as it is stepped up in distance, he intends to continue to instruct riders to try and rider Faction in a manner that allows her to take advantage of her short sprint. A subsequent veterinary examination revealed the filly to be lame in the near foreleg and will require a veterinary clearance prior to racing again. An irregular heart rhythm was also detected and the filly must be subject to examination by a veterinarian with specialist qualifications in equine internal medicine, prior to starting in any race or trial. The examination should include echocardiography, electrocardiography at rest and at exercise and any other examination that the examining veterinarian requests. Prior to starting in any race, and pending Stewards receiving a satisfactory veterinary report from the specialist examination, such horses must trial to the satisfaction of Stewards in an organised trial of at least 1000m and have a satisfactory veterinary report that includes the results of cardiac auscultation within 30 minutes of completion of the trial.
