THE STARTER REPORTED: a) A fair start. THE STIPENDIARY STEWARDS REPORTED : (JN) a) At the 700m CATS PAJAMAS (C Zackey) and IMILENZEYOKUDUDUMA (T Godden) were carried in marginally by I SALUTE YOU (M Yeni) which rolled in. As a consequence, IMILENZEYOKUDUDUMA (T Godden) brushed the inside running rail. b) FIRST ORIGIN (B Marx-Jacobson) hung in from the 250m. c) Stable employee D Rivalland acting on behalf of Trainer A J Rivalland signed an admission of guilt for a contravention of Rule 8.3.1., in that he failed to ensure that the owner's colours were available for the horse KING OF THE GAULS. Accordingly, a penalty of a warning was imposed. d) I AM GIANT (S Veale), the winner, was selected for the taking of specimens for analysis. Trainer S H Ferrie was advised (DZ). JOCKEY / EQUIPMENT CHANGES : a) KING OF THE GAULS raced in club colours. RACE CARD CHANGES / OTHER : a) None.
