The team behind Xtravagant remain positive over the glamour colt's defeat in
Saturday's $225,000 Levin Classic as the $1.35 favourite.
"We're still happy, he pulled up well and we're putting it down to the rain-affected track," said co-trainer Jamie Richards.
"He got attacked [in front] by one, then by two, then by three and Matt [Cameron] said he quickened up nicely on the bend, but couldn't keep it going in that ground.
"We'll give him a couple of days to get over the run then get him checked out just to confirm he's okay then make our plans from there.
"We'll put a line through that run and move forward. When you've got an $80 shot winning the Telegraph you know something is wrong with the track. No disrespect to the winner Adventador, but it couldn't run a place in an open sprint at Hastings on January 1."
