「不惧挑战」无缘墨尔本杯

曾一度是墨尔本杯热门赛驹的「不惧挑战」 已被排除角逐墨尔本杯。

周六上午,维多利亚州赛马会的兽医专家小组对「不惧挑战」、「酒红之海」(Wine Dark Sea)和「巨爆」(Enfjaar)进行了检查。此前,这三匹赛驹在周四的检查后被认定为不适合参加墨尔本杯(3200米)的比赛。

兽医注意到这三匹赛驹在步态上出现了变化,因此每匹赛驹都需要在周六上午再次接受检查,通过后才能获准参加周二的墨尔本杯,最终的参赛确认截止时间为周六下午4点30分。

「酒红之海」和「巨爆」检查合格获准参赛,但「不惧挑战」未能通过检查,仍不适合参加比赛,维州赛马会管理人员根据兽医的建议下令将这匹长途赛驹退出墨尔本杯。

在墨尔本杯参赛顺序中排名第33位的「幼苗」(Small Fry)也被认定为不适合参加墨尔本杯,并且已被排除出本届墨尔本春季赛马嘉年华的余下赛事。

在「不惧挑战」退出后,其同属约瑟夫·奥布莱恩马房的「基兹利亚尔」(Kizlyar)进入了杯赛参赛名单,而克里斯·沃勒训练的「针孔现象」(Pinhole)及其同马房的「猛锐王」(Valiant King)在参赛顺序中分别位列第25位和第26位。
