ROYAL CHIEF was stubborn loading. Assistant Trainer Stegmann was advised to re-school this gelding prior to its next engagement. The Veterinary Surgeon was requested to examine GORNERGRAT, which gave ground quickly from the 400m. In view of the performance of TURNUPTHEHEAT, the Veterinary Surgeon was requested to examine this gelding. ROYAL CHIEF, MARSDEN, AFRICAIN, TURNUPTHEHEAT, SAN SALVADOR, GORNERGRAT, LIGHTNING BID and ABRAX were selected for the taking of specimens for analysis. GORNERGRAT raced equipped with cheek pieces. Vet: MARSDEN and GORNERGRAT - coughing. TURNUPTHEHEAT - not striding out right front. Scratched: FLYING TERN under 12 days suspension. SPRING STEEL - insufficient recovery time.
