Russley Crown, an acceptor for the Newhaven Park Country Championships Final at Royal Randwick on Saturday 6th April, was yesterday found to be mildly lame in the near fore foot upon a veterinary examination.
Trainer Scott Singleton has informed Racing NSW Stewards that the stable farrier has identified some bruising to the sole of the near fore foot and that it had been appropriately treated.
He further advised that he had ridden the horse in trackwork this morning and he was satisfied with its action.
Russley Crown will be the subject of a further veterinary inspection on Friday morning following which a further release will be issued.
