FIDELIO lost one length. SEVENTH EMPIRE was stubborn loading. Assistant Trainer Azzie was advised to re-school this colt prior to its next engagement. Jockey Sturgeon reported that he felt something amiss with BOULOGNE in running. Jockey Marwing reported that the saddle on DOWNTOWN DANZA slipped back in running and this gelding raced with its tongue over the bit. KING CRUISER shifted in away from the crop at the 150m. ATSO COOL was selected for the taking of specimens for analysis. ANTAGONIST raced equipped with blinker pacifiers. Vet: BOULOGNE - abnormal respiratory noise and not striding out left front. SEVENTH EMPIRE - abnormal respiratory noise.
