THE GOBI stumbled shortly after the start. PROUD AS PUNCH was awkwardly placed on the heels of MIND GAMES in the concluding stages. An inquiry will be opened into Jockey Sampson's riding of WISHFUL HEART in the closing stages of the race. TORO ROSSO (BRZ) was selected for the taking of specimens for analysis. WISHFUL HEART raced equipped with a tongue tie. MOI POWER raced without a tongue tie. Vet: TORO ROSSO (BRZ) - abnormal respiratory noise. Scratched: ERMINE STREET - coughing. The course farrier on duty did not report there to be anything amiss with the shoes fitted to the horses that raced at today's race meeting. The passports of all the runners that raced at today's race meeting were checked and their identities, AHS and Equine Influenza vaccinations confirmed. Several Jockeys and Apprentices were selected for breathalyser tests and the taking of urine samples for analysis.
