Jockey van der Merwe (medically indisposed) did not ride at today's race meeting. He was replaced on his mounts. KINGS LANDING cast its left front shoe en route to the start, which was attended to by the farrier. During the loading process, TOBY COATES reared over, dislodging the rider. KING OF SWING in the barrier directly next to TOBY COATES was also injured during this incident. Both these horses were subsequently withdrawn by the Veterinary Surgeon, causing a delay to the start of this Race. The starting stalls certificate for TOBY COATES has been withdrawn and it was suspended for a period of 7 days and until recertified tractable. HIGHLANDER was stubborn loading. SERIOUS REBEL was slow, losing 1 length. At approximately the 1000m HIGHLANDER was awkwardly placed between VALADO and KARIOKE KELLY. In the concluding stages, HIGHLANDER was carried out by SERIOUS REBEL, which shifted out marginally away from the crop. UNREHEARSED (AUS) was selected for the taking of specimens for analysis. EL MALEK raced equipped with a tongue tie. Scratched: MILNE - respiratory disease. TOBY COATES - injured in the stalls. KING OF SWING - injured in the stalls. ALL GROOMED UP - off feed. CHARLIE TANGO - interrupted work programme.
