  • Stipe Comment: Raced three wide without cover. When questioned regarding performance the rider advised that although racing wide, he had still been disappointed with the gelding’s effort. Underwent a post-race veterinary examination which found a minor laceration to the lateral right hind thigh area and lateral right side shoulder. Trainer Mr. S Marsh reported to Stewards, that on Monday 14 April, SUPER PHOTON underwent a veterinary examination. Subsequently, on Tuesday 15 April, the gelding underwent blood tests. No abnormalities were detected in either assessment. S Marsh further advised he may look to nominate SUPER PHOTON for the Waikato TR meeting on Saturday 26 April.
