AFRICAN GLADIATOR and OVER ACHIEVER were slow into stride. Jockey Greyling, the rider of OVER ACHIEVER, and Apprentice Zackey, the rider of WIMOWEH, reported that they felt something amiss with their mounts in running. CREO'S PRIDE was unbalanced when awkwardly placed between DUCHESS CATHERINE and SARTORIUS, which jumped in shortly after the start. Thereafter Apprentice Murray reported that CREO'S PRIDE took no interest in running. PONTEDERA was selected for the taking of specimens for analysis. Vet: PONTEDERA and SARTORIUS - abnormal respiratory noise. OVER ACHIEVER - not striding out left front. WIMOWEH - Epistaxis, 90 day suspension. Scratched: SIR ISAAC - under suspension.
