ZOMBIE, METRIC and CITY DEEP were slow into stride. MASTER MOUNT jumped inwards leaving the stalls. At approximately the 1300m MASTER MOUNT had to steady momentarily when carried out marginally by CITY DEEP, which rolled out. Approaching the 300m KINGS SPEED, which had come to the end of its run, had to steady momentarily when awkwardly placed on the heels of FAST DRAW, which was carried out by TITAN'S CRUSADE, which hung out from the 600m. The Board was satisfied that Jockey Kennedy had made numerous attempts to straighten TITAN'S CRUSADE from the 600m. CITY DEEP hung out from the 300m. In view of the Veterinary Surgeon's report concerning ZOMBIE, this gelding was suspended from racing in any race under the jurisdiction of the National Horseracing Authority for an indefinite period. A veterinary certificate for ZOMBIE must be submitted to the Veterinary Department of the NHRA, before it can be entered for a race. ZOMBIE is also required to gallop for the NHRA veterinary department after which, if found fit to race, will be sent for specimen collection for analysis. LATIN OPUS and ABDUL were selected for the taking of specimens for analysis. G I JOE and METRIC raced equipped with a Cornell collar. ABDUL raced equipped with a tongue tie. Vet: ZOMBIE - lame right front. ABDUL - coughing.
