NATIONAL KEY, HENCHMAN, and BLACK JAGUAR were slow into stride. NATIONAL KEY and BUFFALO BILL were selected for the taking of specimens for analysis. Trainer Wiid was questioned with regard to the improved performance of NATIONAL KEY compared to this gelding's performance of the 24/02/2015. Mr Wiid explained that this gelding had raced from off the pace and the slow pace of the Race had not suited NATIONAL KEY. He was further of the opinion that NATIONAL KEY is suited to racing on the polytrack. The Board noted his explanation. Jockey Randolph, the rider of HENCHMAN, and Jockey Mgudlwa, the rider of BLACK JAGUAR, reported that they felt something amiss with their respective mounts in running. Vet: HENCHMAN - not striding out right fore. BLACK JAGUAR - not striding out right hind and coughed.
