KOPI LUWAK jumped awkwardly, losing two lengths. KOPI LUWAK and ROYAL KNOCKOUT were pulling hard in the early stages and difficult to settle. Apprentice Carstens reported that the felt something amiss with KOPI LUWAK in the straight. In view of the performance from BELCOURT CASTLE, the Veterinary Surgeon was requested to examine the gelding and submit a report. Jockey Behr, the rider of GORR, had his crop accidentally struck from his hand by Jockey Fourie, the rider of RICHARD STRAUSS (ARG), at about the 150m. HAMLETS SPEEDO over-raced in the early stages, refused to settle, and raced to the front of the field approaching the 900m. RICHARD STRAUSS (ARG) was selected for the taking of specimens for analysis. Vet: KOPI LUWAK - returned not striding out. BELCOURT CASTLE - inspected post race and no obvious abnormalities were detected.
