LUNA AZUL reared as the gates opened, losing many lengths. The Starting Stall Certificate for this mare has been withdrawn. She may not be entered or accepted to race until re-passed tractable with a companion. MISTY WINTER was hanging in from approximately the 100 metre mark, shifted in carrying CAPE MARIGOLD inwards. An Objection was lodged by the rider of the 2nd placed horse, CAPE MARIGOLD, against the winner, MISTY WINTER, on the grounds of intimidation in the latter stages of the race. The Board, after viewing the patrol films of the race and hearing all the evidence, were of the opinion that but for this incident, CAPE MARIGOLD would not have finished in front of MISTY WINTER and therefore overruled the Objection. The result stands. Jockey Little's deposit was refunded. Apprentice Ramsamy, the rider of BAMBINO, rode a satisfactory qualifying ride. ISIKHATI raced with a tongue tie. MISTY WINTER and CAPE MARIGOLD were selected for the taking of specimens for analysis. Assistant Trainer Mr Azzie was questioned regarding the improved performance of MISTY WINTER. He explained to the Board that in his opinion this horse was better suited to the shorter distance of today's race and the addition of the blinkers to this filly's equipment had accounted for the improvement. Assistant Trainer Azzie was advised to race this filly similarly equipped in future. Vet: FIRE FINCH and IRISH GRACE - coughing. BAMBINO - coughing and speedy cut left hind. Scratched: SUGAR PRISM - haematoma. DRIFTING DUSK - injured head. GOINGLIKEABOEING - abnormal temperature.
