Trainer Mr R Heathcote has reported to Racing NSW Stewards this morning that Rothfire has been found to have increased reaction to flexion to the near fore fetlock joint and a decision has been made not to continue with this preparation.
Accordingly, Rothfire will not race in the 2021 The Everest. Rothfire will be subject to further veterinary care and assessment, and Mr Heathcote undertook to report the findings of that assessment to the Stewards.
Wagering Operators are requested to remove Rothfire from the betting market for the 2021 The Everest.
