I AM A ROCK raced green in the straight and shifted both ways from the crop over the final 300 metres. In view of the Starter's report concerning ROYAL CHAMPION, the starting stall certificate for this gelding has been withdrawn for a period of 30 days until recertified tractable with a companion on a race day.
