Jockey Strydom (transport problem) did not ride at today's race meeting. He was replaced on his mount. ROCK ON BY spread its left front shoe. ROCK ON BY was awkwardly placed between WARM PEG, which jumped inwards, and JUSTASH, which jumped outwards. Thereafter VICTOR'S FOLLY was bumped by JUSTASH, which shifted in. CANDY TIME was awkwardly placed at approximately the 900m between SILVERDREAM RACER and WARM PEG. Apprentice Zackey reported that ROCK ON BY made an abnormal respiratory noise in running. In view of the performance from JUSTASH, the Veterinary Surgeon was requested to examine this colt. THRUST shifted out away from the crop in the concluding stages. THRUST was selected for the taking of specimens for analysis. Vet: JUSTASH - examined post race, nothing obvious detected. ROCK ON BY - no respiratory noise detected post race. Scratched: SEVEN CHEERS - coughing.
