BIG SHOT and DEPUTY JUD were stubborn loading and slow, losing 1 to 2 lengths. Trainer Kruger and Assistant Trainer Azzie were advised to re-school their horses prior to their next engagements. COEUR DE LION was slow, losing 1 to 2 lengths. TAIWAN TREASURE raced with a tongue tie. TAIWAN TREASURE, hanging in late, shifted in slightly resulting in HONG KONG TIGER becoming cramped for galloping room shortly before the finish line. In view of the performance of HONG KONG TIGER, the Veterinary Surgeon was requested to examine this colt. Trainer Laird was questioned regarding the performance of HONG KONG TIGER. He explained to the Board that in his opinion this horse had sat too far off the pace in a slow run race and this had accounted for the poor performance. Trainer Laird's explanation was noted. BIG SHOT and COEUR DE LION raced green. UNPARALLELED was selected for the taking of specimens for analysis. Vet: CAPTAIN COYOTE - cut into left hind. DEPUTY JUD - speedy cut left hind. HONG KONG TIGER - examined post race, no significant findings.
