Bonavista Bay was re-examined by RWWA Veterinarian Dr Judith Medd yesterday and has passed fit to compete in today’s 4YO Pacing Championship at Gloucester Park.
Originally found to exhibit signs of lameness in the near fore foot yesterday, the horse’s owners had precautionary x-rays performed on the foot however no abnormalities were found.
RWWA stewards advised trainer Emma Stewart that Bonavista Bay’s lameness has significantly improved and so the horse will be a definite contender in tonight’s race.
