The start of this race was delayed due to AURIFEROUS casting its right front shoe on route to the start. The shoe was attended to by the Course Farrier. TOUGHNUTTOCRACK and WALL 'N ALL were slow, losing 1 to 2 lengths. KNOCKOUT JOHNY (AUS) raced without a tongue tie. MUIRFIELD raced equipped with alumites in front and unshod behind. MUIRFIELD over-raced in the early stages. VODKA ROCKS raced equipped with pacifiers. Jockey Khumalo reported that WOODSTOCK EXPRESS was changed legs continuously in running. Stable Employee Ithier was questioned regarding the poor performance of this colt. He could offer the board no suitable explanation and has undertaken to report back to the Board should he find anything amiss with him on return to stables SHEPHERDS WARNING was selected for the taking of specimens for analysis. Vet: WOODSTOCK EXPRESS - examined post race, nothing obvious detected. KNOCKOUT JOHNY (AUS) and TOUGHNUTTOCRACK - abnormal respiratory noise.
