The start of the 8th Race was delayed at the request of the Racing Operator to avoid a television broadcast clash. RAVISHING ROMANCE was stubborn to load and lost 3 lengths. CHALCEDONY and MRS FAWLTY lost 1 length. ZARA'S LEGACY lost 2 lengths. MEREBANK TRIP was selected for the taking of specimens for analysis. SU-PA-SUTA shifted out at approximately the 100 metre mark, carrying MARIAH ANN outwards slightly. Apprentice Thackeray reported that WEST COAST STAR was changing legs. Apprentice Storey reported that he felt something amiss with RAVISHING ROMANCE. Apprentice Murray reported that BEWITCH was not striding out freely in the latter stages. MRS FAWLTY broke down at approximately the 800 metre mark dislodging Apprentice Neethling. Apprentice Ngcobo, the rider of MARIAH ANN, had a satisfactory qualifying ride. In view of the Starter's report concerning RAVISHING ROMANCE the starting stall certificate for this filly has been withdrawn until recertified tractable with a companion. Vet: MRS FAWLTY - broke down right fore and was euthanased on humane grounds. WEST COAST STAR - over-reached right fore heel. MARIAH ANN- coughing. RAVISHING ROMANCE - nothing obvious detected. BEWITCH - lame right fore. Scratched: YELL - lame behind. CALIGARI CARNIVAL - abscess right fore. RUE DAUPHINE - lame right fore. The course farrier on duty did not report there to be anything amiss with the shoes fitted to the horses that raced at tonight's race meeting. The passports of all the runners that raced at tonight's race meeting were checked, identities, AHS and Equine Influenza vaccinations confirmed, as per normal procedure.
