ETERNAL JET and UMBANI were slow into stride. SINGING RIVER and FAST WILLIAM lost one length. ETERNAL JET was difficult to load. CRESCENDO was selected for the taking of specimens for analysis. FAST WILLIAM over-raced in the early stages. Jockey Byleveld reported that SINGING RIVER was not striding out freely in running. Jockey Forbes, under the impression that something was amiss with SQUADRON, eased him out of the race shortly before the finish. Vet: SINGING RIVER - nothing obvious detected. FAST WILLIAM - abnormal respiratory noise. SQUADRON - fractured medial sesamoid bone and ruptured suspensory ligament right front leg. Euthanased on humane grounds.
