  • Stipe Comment: Over-raced through the early stages. Questioned regarding the performance rider advised the mare had travelled well throughout, however, when placed under pressure, had failed to respond and had been disappointing. Post-race vet exam check. Co-trainer Ms. J Ritchie reported to Stewards, reported to Stewards that the mare underwent a veterinary examination, including blood testing on Monday 22 December, which revealed evidence of tying-up. A subsequent blood test taken on Monday 29 December, returned normal results. Ms. Ritchie further advised that it is the stable’s intention to continue with FOSSE’S current preparation, with a view to possible nominating the mare for the Auckland TR meeting on Sunday 11 January.
