The start of this Race was delayed due to the delays in the previous races and ABDICATE's late arrival at the start ABDICATE jumped awkwardly, losing three lengths. YESAN STAR, FALLING SKY and NOTTINGHAM FOREST lost one length. SLOT IN was selected for the taking of specimens for analysis. Trainer Miller appeared before the Board with regard to ABDICATE arriving late at the start and was advised that should this gelding delay the start in future, he may be suspended. ABDICATE, over-racing, difficult to restrain approaching the 1100 metre mark, shifted out making contact with YESAN STAR, carrying YESAN STAR outwards for a number of strides. ROYAL SELVEN (AUS) was hanging in, in the straight. SEEKING THE DREAM was hanging in over the final 150 metres. TRAVELLING MULLINS was hanging out throughout. TRAVELLING MULLINS was not persevered with over the final 200 metres. In view of this the Veterinary Surgeon was requested to examine this gelding. TRAVELLING MULLINS raced with a tongue tie. Vet: ABDICATE - severe post race distress. TRAVELLING MULLINS - coughing.
