CAPTAIN'S CAUSEWAY lost 1 length. At approximately the 300m WILL PAYS switched in to avoid VIKING HERO, which had broken down, and thereafter Jockey Strydom reported that he felt something amiss with WILL PAYS in running and eased this gelding out of the race in the concluding stages. The Veterinary Surgeon was requested to examine WILL PAYS. As a result of the Veterinary report on WILL PAYS, Jockey Strydom was questioned regarding his ride on this gelding. He explained to the Board that even from the start of the race he felt something amiss with WILL PAYS as he had jumped very sluggishly and never travelled at any stage of the race. He also explained to the Board that he had to switch in to avoid VIKING HERO, which had broken down, and it was at this point that he was of the opinion that there was something seriously wrong with WILL PAYS and did not continue with his riding. Assistant Trainer Azzie was requested to report back on the condition of WILL PAYS on return to the stables. Jockey Zackey reported that ARABIAN BEAT did not stride out freely in running and he did not persevere with his ride in the concluding stages. CAPTAIN'S CAUSEWAY was selected for the taking of specimens for analysis. SPLENDID GARDEN raced in the Colours of Mr M G & Mrs S Azzie: All Vieux Rose. Vet: WILL PAYS - examined post race, no significant findings. ARABIAN BEAT - coughing. VIKING HERO - broke down right front sesamoids. Humanely euthanased. Sample collected for analysis.
