The start of this Race was delayed due to the delay in the previous race and the subsequent withdrawal of the horses TRIP TO TROY and RED RIVER BLUE. Jockey Strydom reported that DIVAR made an abnormal respiratory noise in running. Jockey Khumalo reported that he felt something amiss with SMARTIFACT in running. Jockey Sturgeon reported that PATRIC changed stride continually in running. GREATFIVEEIGHT shifted out away from the crop leaving the 200m, simultaneously TRULY shifted in away from the crop, resulting in these two horses racing in close quarters in the concluding stages making contact on at least two occasions. A race review was called by a member of the Stipendiary Board and the patrol films of the various angles of the race were reviewed in the company of Assistant Trainer van Zyl and Jockey Yeni and it was decided to take no further action. GREATFIVEEIGHT was selected for the taking of specimens for analysis. Vet: DIVAR - no respiratory noise detected post race. SMARTIFACT - coughing. PATRIC - examined post race, no significant findings. LIKE A MASTER - abnormal respiratory noise. Scratched: TRIP TO TROY - not striding out right front. RED RIVER BLUE - not striding out both front.
