THE STARTER REPORTED: a) BEARTIC (P Mxoli) jumped awkwardly leaving the stalls. b) AMERICAN EAGLE (D Schwarz) and PRIMAL QUEST (J R Syster) were slow into stride. THE STIPENDIARY STEWARDS REPORTED: a) BEARTIC (P Mxoli) jumped awkwardly leaving the stalls, which resulted in Jockey P Mxoli's shoulder making contact with the left front gate. b) PIONEER SQUARE (G Lerena) raced greed. c) MIZZEN SWORD (M Yeni), which hung out from the 250m, shifted out sharply shortly before the finish line. d) ZAFAR (J Penny), the winner, was selected for the taking of specimens for analysis. Trainer M Khan advised (MduP). When questioned regarding the poor performance of ZAFAR on 14 September 2024, Trainer M Khan explained to the Board that this gelding had over-raced with blinkers fitted for the first time on that occasion, and because of this, he dropped him to the shorter distance of today's race which, in his opinion, had accounted for the improvement. Trainer M Khan's explanation was noted. JOCKEY CHANGES: None. RACE CARD CHANGES / OTHER: None. THE VETERINARY SURGEON REPORTED: a) PIONEER SQUARE abnormal respiratory noise. SCRATCHED: a) ENFLAME abnormal blood count (Trainer) (Rule 53.5 applies). DISQUALIFIED / DECLARED NON-RUNNER: None.
