POWERED BEAUTY (AUS) and KING'S COVE lost two lengths. ROMANESCA lost three lengths. Jockey Marcus, the rider of BABY SHOOZ, appeared before the Board and was questioned regarding his ride in the concluding stages. In this regard, Jockey Marcus explained that, at approximately the 250m, he had dropped his right side rein and had struggled to re-gather it until the 150m. When questioned regarding why he had elected to use his crop in his right hand, despite BABY SHOOZ hanging out between the 200m and 150m, he explained that, once he had finally gathered his reins satisfactorily, he elected to go with BABY SHOOZ's momentum, despite it hanging out. The Board noted the explanation of Jockey Marcus, which was corroborated by the patrol films of the Race. CAESURA was selected for the taking of specimens for analysis. Vet: SPECIAL BLEND and KING'S COVE - cast right hind shoe. Scratched: CANDLE COVE and MOKOKO - insufficient recovery time. GALWAY - kicked/injured.
