Trainer Matchett was requested to report back on the condition of this gelding on return to stables. Apprentice Murray reported that he felt something amiss with BOTANIST in running. Jockey Greyling reported that he felt something amiss with PERFECT TRIP in running. DE LA VERE was selected for the taking of specimens for analysis. VIKING CASTLE raced with a tongue tie on. Vet: BRIDEGROOM BERTIE - examined post race, no significant findings. BOTANIST - examined post race, nothing obvious detected. PERFECT TRIP - not striding out right front. Scratched: FLYING TERN - jarred left front. 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.
