The start of this race was delayed due to PERFECT END (AUS) rearing in the pens, having to be removed, inspected by the Veterinary Surgeon and reloaded. PERFECT END (AUS) reared in the pens. The Starting Stall Certificate for this colt has been withdrawn until recertified tractable. SUPER MARIUS and TIME SHARE were slow, losing 1 to 2 lengths. BLACK MACK was restless in the pens, losing 1 to 2 lengths. Both Trainer Janse van Vuuren and Jockey Little appeared before the Board and were questioned regarding the running and riding of AL FIRENZE. Trainer van Vuuren explained to the board that he was satisfied with Jockey Little's ride as AL FIRENZE would have needed the experience and that he had instructed Jockey Little not to overuse the crop. Jockey Little explained that AL FIRENZE had raced green and had been intimidated by other runners in the latter stages. The Board were satisfied with both these explanations and have decided to proceed no further with this line of query. AL FIRENZE and SHAKESPEARIAN raced green. Jockey Sturgeon reported that SUPER MARIUS made a respiratory noise in running. NOBLE VIRTUE was selected for the taking of specimens for analysis. NOBLE VIRTUE is a gelding, incorrectly carded as a colt. Vet: AL FIRENZE - abnormal respiratory noise. SUPER MARIUS - no respiratory noise detected post race.
