MR BALBOA, TEMPLE ROCK and DOWNTOWN DANZA were slow into stride. In view of the performance from MR BALBOA, the Veterinary Surgeon was requested to examine this gelding. At approximately the 500m DOWNTOWN DANZA was carried out by AMANGA, which rolled out and was immediately straightened. DIESEL ENGINE was selected for the taking of specimens for analysis. When questioned regarding the improved performance of DIESEL ENGINE, the only explanation Trainer Prinsloo could offer to the Board was that the addition of blinkers to this gelding's equipment had accounted for the improvement. Trainer Prinsloo has undertaken to race DIESEL ENGINE similarly equipped in future. Vet: MR BALBOA - not striding out left front.
