Tabcorp Park Melton – 26 January 2019

RACE 8 – WHAT THE HILL GREAT SOUTHERN STAR (GROUP 1) (2760 MS)

Andy Gath, trainer of Tornado Valley NZ, has reported that the gelding has swelling in the near-hind leg.

Consequently Tornado Valley NZ underwent a veterinary examination by the stable veterinarian this evening, where in the presence of a HRV Steward, blood samples were taken from the gelding to detect whether infection may be a factor.  It is expected that the blood testing results will be known early tomorrow morning.

Tornado Valley NZ will undergo a further examination by a HRV Veterinarian tomorrow morning.  

The results of the blood samples and veterinary examination will be notified as soon as possible.
