VRC Summer Fun Race Day

Spicy Margs

Rider stated mount failed to handle heavy track conditions. Post race vet exam - OK. BRAT 09/12/2023 Rdr reported after being pressured by another rnr in the early stages, his mnt was able to establish the lead approaching the first turn, however it gave limited response when placed under full pressure and was disappointing in its finishing effort, and in his view it was not suited by the step-up in class. A post-race vet exam revealed no abnormalities. Co-tnr subsequently reported satisfaction with the post-race condition of the filly. CANT 08/12/2023
