ARCH RIVAL and KALIDAR were slow into stride. RED INN lost one length. BATTLE HAMMER was selected for the taking of specimens for analysis. Apprentice Mo, the rider of SIR BENJAMIN, had a satisfactory qualifying ride. EMBLEM ROYALE and GANGNAM STYLE over-raced in the early stages. ICE PACK was pulling hard in the early stages, difficult to restrain. Jockey Fayd'Herbe reported that RED INN took no interest in running. Apprentice Dillon reported that he felt something amiss with AMROTH BAY in running. Vet: RED INN - coughing. AMROTH BAY - nothing obvious detected.
