Alpine Stride has been withdrawn from the 2022 SENTrack Inter Dominion Pacing Championship.
Harness Racing Victoria (HRV) stewards have confirmed the scratching of the Darren Binskin-trained runner, who underwent a veterinary examination today and was found to be lame in the left foreleg.
The eight-year-old gelding was drawn barrier three for his opening round pacing qualifier at Bray Raceway on Saturday night, but his omission from the series means first emergency Mona Mia gains a start for trainer Kari Males.
Mona Mia, who has an ODM status, will begin from outside the second line at Ballarat.
