SHENANIGANS and SECOND REQUEST were slow into stride. At approximately the 200m Apprentice Klink, the rider of ALI BON DUBAI, had his crop accidentally struck out of his hand by Apprentice Gates, the rider of SECOND REQUEST. Jockey Zechner reported that MASTER MAGIC made an abnormal respiratory noise in running. SOQRAT (AUS) was selected for the taking of specimens for analysis. DIVINE ODYSSEY raced equipped with ear muffs. GREEN HAZE raced equipped with a Cornell collar. Vet: MASTER MAGIC - no respiratory noise detected post-race. AL MUTAWAKEL - choked up; abnormal respiratory noise. Following the running of Race 8, a severe electrical storm moved in over the Vaal Racecourse. At 5pm, with no sign of the storm dissipating and the continued forecast of lightning, as well as the fading light, races 9 and 10 were abandoned.
