EN ROUTE TO THE START, JOCKEY J R SYSTER WAS DISLODGED FROM RED SEA HILLS, WHICH BOLTED TO THE BACK PARADE RING. THIS GELDING WAS TAKEN IN HAND, EXAMINED BY THE VETERINARY SURGEON, DECLARED FIT TO RACE, REUNITED WITH THE RIDER AND DISPATCHED TO THE START. THIS CAUSED A DELAY TO THE START OF THIS RACE. THE STARTER REPORTED: a) TALKOFTHEHEIGHTS (*G Samo-Burthia) was slow into stride. THE STIPENDIARY STEWARDS REPORTED: a) PARABELLUM (P Mxoli) over-raced in the early stages. b) RED SEA HILLS (J R Syster) over-raced in the early and middle stages. As a consequence, this gelding raced wide around the turn and into the straight, and thereafter tired badly from the 200m. c) SINGLETON SAM (G Lerena), the winner, was selected for the taking of specimens for analysis. Trainer A Azzie advised (MS). JOCKEY CHANGES: None. RACE CARD CHANGES / OTHER: a) STEP INTO IT is a gelding (gelded 20 January 2025). To be investigated. THE VETERINARY SURGEON REPORTED: a) RED SEA HILLS coughing post race. THERE WERE NO SCRATCHINGS. DISQUALIFIED / DECLARED NON-RUNNER: None.
