Jockey Wrogemann (knee injury) did not ride at today's race meeting. He was replaced on his mounts. ROVING JET and RED SCIMITAR were stubborn loading. Assistant Trainer Azzie and Trainer Houdalakis were advised to re-school their respective horses prior to their next engagement. COLONEL ROCKJAW lost 1 length. QUID RIDES was bumped inwards on two occasions approaching the 150m, by BIG SHOT, which shifted in away from the crop and was immediately straightened. Thereafter, in the concluding stages, QUID RIDES shifted out slightly away from the crop, which led to BIG SHOT being carried out marginally. A Stipendiary Steward called a race review regarding these incidents, which was followed by an objection lodged by Assistant Trainer Azzie on behalf of the second placed horse, QUID RIDES, against BIG SHOT being declared the winner, on the grounds of interference in the closing stages. The Objection Board, after reviewing the patrol film from various angles and considering the evidence put forward from the connections, established that QUID RIDES had improved from well behind BIG SHOT and had been bumped on two occasions, that the result was affected and therefore upheld the objection and amended the judge's result accordingly. Jockey Danielson reported that ZILLIONAIRE made an abnormal respiratory noise in running. BIG SHOT was selected for the taking of specimens for analysis. Vet: ROCK FORCE - coughing. ZILLIONAIRE - no respiratory noise detected post race.
