Away game given all clear by Racing NSW vet for the Surround Stakes

The Ciaron Maher and David Eustace-trained Away Game has been cleared to take her place in the Group 1 Surround Stakes at Randwick despite a minor setback on Wednesday.

Racing NSW stewards announced the Group 2 winner had undergone a veterinary examination on Thursday morning after slipping over when being loaded into a float on Wednesday.

Away Game suffered an abrasion to her off-side hip in the fall.

“Racing NSW General Manger Veterinary Services Dr Toby Koenig has examined Away Game following the Maher-Eustace stable reporting that the filly had sustained an abrasion to the off-side hip, after slipping when being unloaded from a horse float yesterday morning. Dr Koenig has determined the filly is suitable to race in Saturday’s Surround Stakes,” the stewards’ release said.

The classy daughter of Snitzel is poised to line up in the Surround Stakes on Saturday and opened as a $7 second elect in betting before drifting to $9 for the 1400m event.

Glen Boss will resume his partnership with Away Game after last partnering the filly to third in the $2 million Magic Millions 3YO Guineas.

He also linked up with Away Game to capture the Group 2 Percy Sykes at Randwick last autumn.

Away Game will jump from barrier 14 in the Surround Stakes, which has drawn a capacity field.
