TT s

AMERICAN TIGER lost one length. RAFA stumbled shortly after the start. SHE'S A TIGER had to switch out sharply at approximately the 400m to avoid the heels of DEPARDIEU, which had broken down. Thereafter Jockey Strydom did not persevere with his riding. Apprentice Murray reported that he felt something amiss with EUSEBIUS in running. In view of the performance of GEMS A PLENTY, the Veterinary Surgeon was requested to examine this gelding. COSMIC TOM was hanging in throughout. Jockey Khumalo reported COSMIC TOM did not stride out freely in running. DRAVIDIAN was selected for the taking of specimens for analysis. DEPARDIEU raced equipped with steel shoes in front and unshod behind. COSMIC TOM carried 57,5kg with a merit rating of 69, winner Vaal Racecourse 28 May 2015. Vet: EUSEBIUS and GEMS A PLENTY - nothing obvious detected. DEPARDIEU - fractured both sesamoids right front and was humanely euthanased. Samples collected for analysis. COSMIC TOM - coughing.
