AUCTION KING and DRUM SCORE lost one length. BADGE OF CHOICE and LEAGUE OF HIS OWN lost two lengths. AUCTION KING was selected for the taking of specimens for analysis. In view of the performances of FLAVIO, STORM SURF and EYE OF THE NEEDLE, the Veterinary Surgeon was requested to examine these geldings. PEARLY KING shifted in at approximately the 1400 metre mark, resulting in PIANO FOREST becoming momentarily cramped for galloping room and switching out. Apprentice Patel, the rider of PEARLY KING, appeared before the Board with regard to this incident and was advised to ensure that he is sufficiently clear of other runners when shifting ground in races in future. A tiring PEARLY KING shifted out at approximately the 200 metre mark, carrying BADGE OF CHOICE outwards slightly. MODERN ROYAL was hanging out and shifted outwards in the latter stages. EYE OF THE NEEDLE raced equipped with pacifiers. Vet: FLAVIO and EYE OF THE NEEDLE - nothing obvious detected. STORM SURF - not striding out left fore. Scratched: CRUMLIN - hoof abscess.
