During the loading process, the saddle of TRIFECTA hooked on the back gate of the starting stalls as this colt was being loaded. As a result of this, the saddle slipped backwards and TRIFECTA had to be re-saddled before the loading process could continue and this caused a delay to the start of this race. CATHEDRAL COUNTY and SEATTLE SEAHAWK were restless in the stalls. Trainer Janse van Vuuren was advised to re-school his horses prior to their next engagements. REVENTADOR was slow into stride. TRIFECTA was slow losing one length. Shortly after the start SHARP LINK and GIMMEABREAK were awkwardly placed between CATHEDRAL COUNTY and AIMEE SWEET, which jumped out. SEATTLE SEAHAWK was hanging in from the 400m. TIME TO BE GREAT and ROMAN EVENING were hanging in from the 200m. CATHEDRAL COUNTY was selected for the taking of specimens for analysis. ROMAN EVENING raced without alumites. Vet: SHARP LINK, GIMMEABREAK and CATHEDRAL COUNTY - coughing. FREE THE WIND - mouth injury. Scratched: NAMASTE - swollen left front joint.
