FLOWER BLUE lost one length. BYE BYE BABY lost two lengths. CALIFORNIA INN was restless in the stalls. BYE BYE BABY was selected for the taking of specimens for analysis. IMAGINATION was hanging out on the bend. Jockey Godden reported that he felt something amiss with IMAGINATION in the closing stages and as a result, he did not preserve with his ride. Jockey Brown reported CALIFORNIA INN made contact with the front gates as a result of being restless in the starting stalls. FLOWER BLUE was squeezed out shortly after the start. In view of the performance of ZAITUNAY BAY, the Veterinary Surgeon was requested to examine this gelding. BYE BYE BABY was hanging in, in the closing stages. BLACK SAMURAI raced with alumites in front and unshod behind. IMAGINATION raced with a tongue tie. Vet: IMAGINATION, ZAITUNAY BAY and CALIFORNIA INN - nothing obvious detected.
