Very Edgy Banned

Promising South Australian three-year-old filly Very Edgy has run her last race in Australia after suffering her second bleeding attack at Morphettville Parks on Saturday.
Resuming from a 25 week layoff in the $32,000 Best Bets Handicap (1000m), Very Edgy boxed on bravely to finish third behind Streetcar Magic and Deneb.
However upon returning to scale it was apparent Very Edgy suffered a bi-lateral bleeding attack during the race.
Trainer Ken Sweeney was notified shortly after that as this was the second time she had suffered a bleeding attack, she was now banned from racing in Australia.
Finishing in the placings from all her six starts, Very Edgy is a dual winner that is a multiple placegetter at Morphettville.
Two starts back Very Edgy finished second behind the Stephen Brown-trained Canali who subsequently won again in Adelaide and then finished on the heels of Our Baby Bonus at Moonee Valley in January.
It’s unknown at this stage whether Very Edgy will continue her career in a region such as the United States, which allows horses to race with the drug lasix in their system.

Meanwhile, the Mark Minervini-trained Hallacious is set wear a tongue tie at his next start following his poor performance at Morphettville Parks last Wednesday.
Minervini told stewards that the filly had undergone a veterinary examination and an endoscopic examination identified Hallacious had displaced its tongue.
