Shifted out shortly after the start and bumped. Trainer subsequently advised on return to the stable that the gelding had bled from both nostrils for the first occasion. Mr Cook was subsequently advised of the provisions of AR79(4). Trainer further advised that the gelding was showing signs of lameness in the right hindleg. Trainer was advised a veterinary clearance would be required prior to racing again.

Raced wide throughout. A post-race veterinary examination which revealed the gelding to be lame in the right foreleg with a suspected suspensory injury. Trainer was advised that MIL CIENTO would require a veterinary clearance prior to racing again. Stewards will follow up on the condition of the gelding in coming days.
