B Y

ASHTON PARK, RIKITIKITANA and MR WINSOME all lost 1 length. MR WINSOME and OPEN HEIR were selected for the taking of specimens for analysis. ASHTON PARK over-raced in the early stages. KITTY'S DESTINY, RIKITIKITANA and CARIBBEAN DAY were pulling hard in the early stages. SYLVESTER THE CAT was pulling hard in the early and middle stages and as a result was forced to ease off the heels of ASHTON PARK on two occasions on the final bend. Due to the performances of ASHTON PARK, PRINCESS VARUNYA (AUS) and KITTY'S DESTINY, the Veterinary Surgeon was requested to examine these horses. Apprentice de Gouveia reported that he felt something amiss with DOUBLE CLUTCH in running. Due to a change of ownership SYLVESTER THE CAT and should read: Messrs B A Schwegmann & H F Schwegmann, D C Howells & B Walker. Colours unchanged (change of ownership registered 13.1.2017). Vet: ASHTON PARK - fatigued. PRINCESS VARUNYA (AUS) and DOUBLE CLUTCH - nothing obvious detected. KITTY'S DESTINY - not striding out left fore.
