KENTUCKY GUEST and JONOVICH were both slow into stride. NITRO NORI and NIGHT LOCK both lost 1 length. ENTREE was selected for the taking of specimens for analysis. KOLKATA, ENTREE and EMPEROR NIARCHOS all shifted outwards slightly in the latter stages. As a result GOLDEN HIGH, racing in a tight gap along the outside running rail on the outside of EMPEROR NIARCHOS, became cramped and had to be checked. The Board was satisfied, after reviewing the patrol videos, that no blame could be attached to any individual rider for this incident. In view of the performances of GOLDEN HIGH and NITRO NORI, the Veterinary Surgeon was requested to examine these geldings. Vet: GOLDEN HIGH and NITRO NORI - nothing obvious detected.
