The start of this race was delayed due to PARADE COUNCIL casting its left front shoe and having to be attended to by the Farrier. Thereafter, ROVING JET and DANCE KING were stubborn to load. Assistant Trainer Azzie and Trainer Botes were advised to re-school their horses prior to their next engagements. AZA ARROW was slow, losing 1 to 2 lengths. BAKSTEEN squeezed out shortly after the start. In view of the performance of TRIP TO RIO, the Veterinary Surgeon was requested to examine this colt. DANCE KID and ELUSIVE FLYER raced green. PARADE COUNCIL was pulling hard early and hanging out in the latter stages. SAILABRATE was pulling hard in the early stages. THE ELMO EFFECT was selected for the taking of specimens for analysis. Vet: TRIP TO RIO - not striding out right front, mouth injury, cut into right hind and coughing.
