QRIC IIT department conducted multiple stable inspections Friday afternoon and Saturday morning. Upon inspection Friday afternoon IIT stewards had concerns with an lesion on the near side neck of PROGIRL. Trainer P. Richardson explained that it was an abscess that had been there for some time, which had been monitored on a regular basis by himself and his veterinarian. On Saturday morning prior to scratching deadlines based on a report from the Raceday Veterinarian, and as the Stewards were satisfied that this was an old injury and not consistent with any form of recent treatment, the mare was permitted to race. A pre-race blood sample was taken from the mare.
