Trainer Mark Newnham has advised Racing NSW Stewards that EXPAT (NZ), which is accepted to run at the Rosehill Gardens meeting on Saturday 27th November, sustained a significant abrasion to the inside of its off-hind leg due to a stable incident on Sunday 21 November.
Mr Newnham further advised that the mare has not missed any work and has been cleared by his stable veterinarian.
Whilst Expat (NZ) has been deemed suitable to race, the mare will undergo a further veterinary examination upon arrival at Rosehill Gardens Racecourse on Saturday.
