The start of this Race was delayed due to the starting stalls having to be repositioned. GOLD STATUS was stubborn loading. Trainer Binda to be advised to re-school this gelding prior to its next engagement. GOODYTWOSHOES lost 1 length. EBONY KNIGHT shifted in away from the crop from the 250m and Jockey Marwing reported that he felt something amiss with this gelding in running. NEUF DE PAPE was hanging in from the 200m. Leaving the 200m GOODYTWOSHOES was awkwardly placed between DON CHRISTO and BALLY SWISS, which rolled in marginally. At approximately the 100m TOKYO DRIFT had to steady momentarily when awkwardly placed on the heels of WILLIAM NICOL. RAND CLUB was selected for the taking of specimens for analysis. Vet: EBONY KNIGHT - post race distress. Scratched: RACETHEGREENLIGHT - colic. SILVER KAVALIER - deceased. FORMAL REQUEST - no jockey available. The course farrier on duty did not report there to be anything amiss with the shoes fitted to the horses that raced at today's race meeting.
