WA Oaks
Aftermath of that shocking fall in the Oaks:
Following the race Jockeys D. Staeck (FULL MOON) and L. Camilleri (LADY JEUMONT) were examined by the Club’s Medical Officer and declared fit to ride.
FULL MOON (D. Staeck) – Fell near the 150m. A post race Veterinary examination revealed the filly to have returned with a moderate laceration to the inside of the off fore knee.
LADY JEUMONT (L. Camilleri) – Severely checked near the 150m and blundered when contacting a fallen runner and dislodged its rider. A post race Veterinary examination revealed the filly to have a minor abrasion to the inside of the off fore cannon.
Jockey J. Whiting (DELTA GEE) was examined by the Club’s Medical Officer and declared unfit to fulfil his remaining riding engagement in Race 8 due to a thumb injury.
DELTA GEE (J. Whiting) – Fell near the 150m. A post race Veterinary examination revealed the filly to have returned with generalised soreness to both shoulders and to be slightly lame in the near fore.
Jockey W. Pike (JEWELLED) was transported to Royal Perth Hospital for observation.
JEWELLED (W. Pike) – Restrained passing the 200m and then fell at the 150m. A post race Veterinary examination revealed the filly to have returned bleeding from the right nostril and with a haematoma to the off fore shoulder.
