COMMODORE AL stumbled shortly after the start. CHEDWIN PARK and WELLS-CARGO were slow into stride. COLONEL ROCKJAW was awkwardly placed leaving the 200m between DELAMERE and START YOUR ENGINES. Jockey Simons reported that he felt something amiss with QUEEN ELIZA and did not persevere with his ride from the 500m. In view of the performance from DELAMERE, the Veterinary Surgeon was requested to examine this gelding. Jockey Greyling reported that he felt something amiss with CHEDWIN PARK in running. COMMODORE AL was selected for the taking of specimens for analysis. Vet: DELAMERE - not striding out right front. QUEEN ELIZA - not striding out left front. CHEDWIN PARK and START YOUR ENGINES - abnormal respiratory noise. MIRAK - lame left front; coughing. Scratched: NAHOON BEACH - off feed. 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, except for TIDE REPORT (Race 2), which was identified by means of its microchip number (incorrect passport brought to the course).
