The start of this race was delayed due to the delay in the previous races. MAJOR HILL was slow losing two lengths. Jockey Khumalo and Apprentice Habib reported that they felt something amiss with their mounts in running. In the concluding stages, AL LUNAM was carried out by HEAVENLY EXPRESS, which shifted out after having struck the inside running rail. A member of the Stipendiary Board called a race review which was followed by him lodging an Objection on behalf of the 5th placed horse, AL LUNAM, against the 4th placed horse, HEAVENLY EXPRESS, on the grounds of interference in the concluding stages. The Objection Board after giving regard to the evidence put forward by the respective parties and reviewing the patrol films of the race, was of the opinion that the result had been affected by this incident and that AL LUNAM would have finished in front of HEAVENLY EXPRESS had this incident not occurred and therefore upheld the objection and amended the judges result. YESAN STAR was selected for the taking of specimens for analysis. MAJOR HILL is a gelding, incorrectly carded. HEAVENLY EXPRESS raced with Club Colours. Vet: HEAVENLY EXPRESS and ON THE THAMES - examined post race, nothing obvious detected. Scratched: HAWKSWORTH - Urticaria. COMMISSIONERSTREET - no transport available. NEWS FLASH - under 12 day's suspension.
