EIGHTH WONDER was fractious and reluctant to load causing a delay. Trainer Elley will be advised to have this colt re-schooled before its next engagement. TWENTY FOUR CARAT was fractious in the stalls. Trainer Marshall will be advised to have this colt re-schooled before its next engagement. DETENTE and DIAMOND SOLITAIRE jumped awkwardly, losing two lengths and thereafter were slow into stride. APPLE JACK was slow, losing one length and thereafter was slow into stride. PRINCE LATERAL was slow, losing one length and thereafter was slow into stride. In view of the performances from APPLE JACK, DETENTE, and DIAMOND SOLITAIRE, the Veterinary Surgeon was requested to examine these horses and submit a report. EIGHTH WONDER, which raced green, shifted out sharply approaching the 100m and crossed FORWARD DRIVE, which was forced to ease losing momentum. A Member of the Stipendiary Board, and Jockey Morgenrood, the rider of FORWARD DRIVE, called for a race review, which was followed by an Objection being lodged by Trainer Reeves, on behalf of FORWARD DRIVE, placed 3rd, against the winner, EIGHTH WONDER, on the grounds of interference at about the 100m. After reviewing the patrol films from various angles and taking into account all the evidence relating to this Objection, the Board was of the opinion that but for the interference FORWARD DRIVE would not have finished ahead of EIGHTH WONDER and therefore overruled the Objection, and the Judges' result stands. The Board refunded the deposit. The Board has adjourned to review this incident. EIGHTH WONDER was selected for the taking of specimens for analysis. Vet: APPLE JACK, DETENTE and DIAMOND SOLITAIRE - was inspected post race and no obvious abnormalities were detected. Scratched: CAPTAIN NERO - lame on the right fore.
