Jockey Simons did not ride at today's race meeting as he was medically indisposed. He was replaced on his mounts. MY FRIEND LEE and OU RYPERD were stubborn loading. Jockey Brown reported that FIUMICINO made an abnormal respiratory noise in running. Jockey Zackey reported that OU RYPERD did not stride out freely in running. ELUSIVE STRIKE had to ease for a number of strides approaching the 200m when carried in by LIGHT INDIGO, which shifted in when on the inside of MY FRIEND LEE. A race review was called into this incident by a member of the Stipendiary Board and this resulted in an objection being lodged on behalf of the joint placed third horse, ELUSIVE STRIKE, against the second placed horse, LIGHT INDIGO, on the grounds of interference at approximately the 200m. The Board, after giving regard to the evidence put forward and viewing the patrol films of the race, was of the opinion that this incident had affected the result of the race and therefore upheld the objection and amended the judges' result. MY FRIEND LEE was selected for the taking of specimens for analysis. ROCK ME ROMEO raced equipped with a tongue tie. OU RYPERD raced equipped with a tongue tie. Vet: FIUMICINO and ELUSIVE STRIKE - abnormal respiratory noise. OU RYPERD - examined post race, nothing obvious detected. Scratched: BIBLICAL SUSAN (AUS) - abnormal temperature. PASSION - cast in box.
