MIDNIGHT SERENADE kicked the back gate in the stalls, was slow away and lost approximately 7 lengths. ALBARAKAH and STORMY RIDGE were nervous in the stall. BOIS DE VAR was nervous in the stall and flyjumped. In view of the Starter's report concerning MIDNIGHT SERENADE, this gelding's Starting Stall Certificate is withdrawn, to be recertified tractable in the Starting Stalls to jump on terms prior to racing again. GOLD SITE broke down passing the 500 metre mark and Jockey Funeka pulled this gelding out of the race. ALBARAKAH, hanging out over the final 200 metres, shifted out and carried BOIS DE VAR outwards slightly and made contact with BOIS DE VAR just before the finish. The connections of the 2nd placed horse, BOIS DE VAR, requested a race review, and thereafter lodged an Objection against the winner, ALBARAKAH, on the grounds of interference in the closing stages. After re-viewing the Patrol Film of this incident and hearing evidence from both the rider's concerned and Assistant Trainer Snaith, the Board over-ruled the Objection and the placings stand. The Objection fee was refunded. ALBARAKAH was selected for the taking of specimens for analysis. Vet: GOLD SITE - fractured cannon bone and sesamoid, ruptured suspensory ligament of left fore. Euthanased and specimens taken for analysis.
