Race 1
Nick the Skip Rdr std mount travelled well behind leaders, however when in clear running shortly after straightening failed to quicken before weakening over the final 100m. Added only explanation he could offer was that the gelding raced flat. Post-race vet exam - mucous in nostrils, no other abs. Trainer reported scope & bloods taken on return to stables revealed no abs, however a lung wash showed signs of bacterial infection, for which geld is now being treated. Vet clearance required PTNRS.
