HAWKESBURY – May 17

Race 4: Trainer David Payne was interviewed following receipt of the autopsy report for Crazy Kiwi, after the gelding broke down and had to be euthanased on humane grounds.

Evidence was tendered by Payne's veterinary surgeon that Crazy Kiwi was treated in the week leading up to the race, however, a veterinary examination did not reveal any lameness issues.

On the evidence provided by the autopsy report and by Racing NSW Official Senior Veterinarian Craig Suann, it was established that Crazy Kiwi suffered a severe fracture of the left knee, resulting in the gelding being euthanased.
