GOLD STATUS and SHAKESPEARIAN were stubborn loading. LUNDY'S STAR was slow into stride. ELEVENSES lost 3 lengths. ELEVENSES failed to muster speed in the early stages and gave ground to the field. GOLD STATUS was hanging in from the 400m. NATION BUILDER was selected for the taking of specimens for analysis. GRANTCHESTER raced equipped with a tongue tie. Vet: SHAKESPEARIAN - cut into right hind. 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.
