  • Stipe Comment: Contacted on a number of occasions through the middle stages. Lost left front plate during the running. Post-race vet elevated heart rate and slow recovery, and to be mildly lame left foreleg after pulling a shoe during the running. Te Akau Racing Manager Mr. R Trumper advised Stewards, the stable was satisfied with the post-race condition of the gelding, however, NEVER TOO MUCH has now been sent for a spell.
