Jockeys Penny, Kennedy and Yeni did not ride at today's race meeting due to flight complications. Due to the sweat box not being used due to concerns relating to the COVID-19 virus, all Riders that participated at today's race meeting were afforded 1kg at scale. MYSTIC TULIP jumped awkwardly. ALL THE STARS was stubborn loading. HOLLYWOOD THUNDER was difficult to settle in the early stages. MYSTIC TULIP proved to be unruly and was reluctant to proceed to the start. As a consequence of this, the filly was led to the start by a Handler unmounted. Trainer Kaknis was advised that should this filly behave in a similar manner in future, she may be suspended. Following an awkward start by MYSTIC TULIP when the filly had jumped outwards and bumped STAVROS CHRISTOS, MYSTIC TULIP was encouraged and subsequently proved difficult to settle in the early stages. When Jockey Cheyne the Rider of ALL THE STARS was questioned with regards his riding in the home straight, he told the Stewards that the filly was extremely green in her previous start on the 2nd March 2020, had resented his use of the crop and had ducked inwards as a result of his left-handed crop use. Bearing this in mind, in today's race he had elected to ride this filly with the hands to keep her balanced. Shortly after straightening, the filly showed a tendency to hang outwards and when he used his crop in the right hand, she commenced to shift out. As a result of this, he rode the filly to the end of the race using his hands and heels. The Stewards noted his explanation which was corroborated by the patrol film. An inquiry will be opened into the vaccination discrepancies of STAVROS CHRISTOS and MYSTIC TULIP relating to Equine Influenza in accordance with the programme of vaccinations as published from time to time in the Racing Calendar. HOLLYWOOD THUNDER was selected for the taking of specimens for analysis. MYSTIC TULIP raced equipped with a tongue tie. Vet: SILVER FOUNTAIN - abnormal respiratory noise and post-race distress syndrome. STAVROS CHRISTOS - speedy cut left hind. Scratched: TEQUILA MARIA - retired.
