Race 2 - FIRST LEG PICK 6 HANDICAP TROT
Trainer L Veint has informed Stewards that following its disappointing run at Forbury last week a thorough veterinary examination of LOXI CLAIRBORNE has revealed no abnormalities. Mr Veint concluded that being taken on in front did not suit the mare and in consequence she will be driven with a sit if possible in upcoming engagements, with Mr Veint adding that she has worked well this week in preparation for a race at Gore on Sunday.
