The start of this Race was delayed due to FOG ON THE TYNE breaking through the front gates, dislodging the rider and bolting. TRIP KINGS, GO WEST MCGRAW and GOLDEN SCEPTRE were slow into stride. APRIL ROCK and SWISS ARROW lost one length. FIRST FLIGHT was selected for the taking of specimens for analysis. In view of the Starter's report concerning FOG ON THE TYNE, this colt's starting certificate is withdrawn until re-passed tractable with a companion. SWISS ARROW was pulling hard in the early stages, difficult to restrain. In view of the performance of TRIP KINGS, the Veterinary Surgeon was requested to examine this gelding. Jockey Lembethe reported that GOLDEN SCEPTRE was making abnormal respiratory noises in running. Jockey Lembethe, the rider of GOLDEN SCEPTRE, raced with Club Colours. Vet: TRIP KINGS - nothing obvious detected. GOLDEN SCEPTRE - not striding out right hind. Scratched: FOG ON THE TYNE - bolted and was withdrawn by the Veterinary Surgeon.
