STORM COURT was restless in the pens, broke open the front gate, which was closed by a handler. FLAMING FORGE and SHADOW MODE lost 1 to 2 lengths. Jockeys Strydom, the rider of MAURI BLUE, and Jockey Dean, the rider of SHOE HORN, reported that their respective mounts made a respiratory noise. ACES HIGH was selected for the taking of specimens for analysis. Trainer Lerena was questioned regarding the improved performance of ACES HIGH. Vet: MAURI BLUE and SHOE HORN - abnormal respiratory noise. Scratched: SPECTROSCOPE - swollen right fore joint. ENCHANTED GUEST - lame right hind sacroiliac. LORD JONATHAN - lame left fore.
