The start of this Race was delayed due to DJEMBE proving reluctant to proceed to the start and the withdrawal of LIKE A BOSS, who reared in the pens and injured itself, MAI THAIGA, who broke through the front gate and bolted, and MUSIC MAESTRO, who refused to load. The starting stalls certificate for LIKE A BOSS (AUS) has been withdrawn until recertified tractable. LIKE A BOSS (AUS) may not be presented for recertification for a period of 7 days. Trainer Gray was advised to re-school MAI THAIGA prior to its next engagement. The starting stalls certificate for MUSIC MAESTRO has been withdrawn until recertified tractable. MUSIC Trainer Marwing to be advised that should DJEMBE, who proved reluctant to proceed to the start, behave in a similar manner in future, it may be suspended. LIONS EMBLEM was pulling hard early. AFRICAN KNIGHT was selected for the taking of specimens for analysis. LIONS EMBLEM is a gelding. Scratched: ERMINE STREET - ulcer in left eye. LIKE A BOSS (AUS) - injured in the pens.
