The start of this Race was delayed due to GOLD BEAR BREAKING through the front gates, having to be restrained by its rider, returned to the start, checked by the Veterinary Surgeon and reloaded. WILHELM reared in the pens. Trainer Erasmus was advised to re-school this gelding prior to its next engagement. SOUNDS GOOD and KING OF CLOTH lost 1 to 2 lengths. FLY ME HIGH raced equipped with blinkers. FLY ME HIGH was hanging out in the latter stages. SOUNDS GOOD cast its right front shoe. EXCALIVAR shifted out away from the crop at approximately the 400 metre mark, resulting in SOUNDS GOOD clipping the heels of EXCALIVAR and having to switch in to obtain a clear run. Jockey Mariba signed an Admission of Guilt for the contravention in that he failed to ensure that he did not cause interference to SOUNDS GOOD at approximately the 400 metre mark, whilst riding EXCALIVAR. He was suspended from riding in races for a period of seven days. Trainer Laird was questioned with regards to Jockey Mariba's ride on EXCALIVAR. Trainer Laird was satisfied that Jockey Mariba had attempted to ride this gelding to his instructions. Taking into account the fact that EXCALIVAR returned post race with a mouth injury, the Board decided to proceed no further with this line of inquiry. ADI STAR was selected for the taking of specimens for analysis. Vet: EXCALIVAR - bilateral nasal lacerations and mouth injury from pens. KING OF MAGIC - coughing. WILHELM - abnormal respiratory noise. Scratched: WALLINGFORD - cast in box.
