  • Stipe Comment: Rider advised that he was disappointed with the filly’s effort which had failed to respond once placed under pressure. Underwent a post-race vet check clear. Co-trainer Ms. K Alexander advised Stewards, that upon return to the stable, the filly was examined by the stable veterinarian, including an endoscopic examination which revealed mucus in the lungs, and was subsequently placed on a course of medication. A further lung scan on Monday 20 April indicated mucus build-up. RIOJA has now been sent for a spell.
