CLUB FLAG was slow, losing 2 to 3 lengths. Jockey Khumalo reported that AMOUR DE LA BONTE changed legs continuously and made a respiratory noise in running which resulted in him not persevering with his mount in the latter stages. Jockey Herholdt reported that he felt something amiss with CALAMITY KATE and did not persevere with his ride in the straight. SHAKALAND shifted in away from the crop, carrying ALL THE BIDS in, resulting in FORTRESS MINE becoming cramped for galloping room for a number of strides at the 100 metre mark. Jockey Zechner was charged with a contravention, read with Guideline M on the use of the crop, in that he used his crop with excessive frequency whilst riding the horse SHAKALAND. Jockey Zechner signed an Admission of Guilt and was suspended from riding in races for a period of seven days. SIXMILEBRIDGE spread its left front shoe in running. AJUBA and BREATHLESS were selected for the taking of specimens for analysis. Trainer Pettigrew to be questioned regarding the improved performance of AJUBA. Vet: AMOUR DE LA BONTE - not striding out right front. CALAMITY KATE - examined post race, nothing obvious detected. SIXMILEBRIDGE - overreach left front.
