DECLARATOR and JAY'S CLUB were slow into stride. JAMROCK raced in Club colours. JAYS' CLUB rolled outwards away from the crop at approximately the 300m and made contact with the hind quarters of HERO QUEST. DECLARATOR was inconvenienced on the heels of STARRETT CITY shortly before the finish. Trainer Robinson was questioned regarding the improved performance of THE BEST OF ME compared to it's run on the 9th December 2015. He explained to the Board that THE BEST OF ME was slow away on that occasion and as a result had been unable to obtain a handy position in the early stages. In his opinion this had accounted for this gelding's poor performance. The Board noted this explanation and the future performances of this gelding will be monitored. Jockey Khathi reported that ZAMA made an abnormal respiratory noise in the pull up area. THE BEST OF ME was selected for the taking of specimens for analysis. HERO QUEST is a gelding. Vet: ZAMA - examined post race and no obvious abnormalities were detected.
