TOPO threw his head down leaving the stalls was slow away and lost many lengths. In view of the Starter's Report, a race review was called into the start by a member of the Stipendiary Board. After interviewing Jockey Khathi, reviewing the patrol film of the start, the Board was satisfied that TOPO was not impeded in any way. TOPO's Starting Stall Certificate was withdrawn and is to be recertified tractable 'to jump on terms" prior to racing again. BLUE CASTLE shifted inwards from the 200 metre mark, carried OVER DRIVE inwards slightly for several strides passing the 150 metre mark and SCRIBO switched outwards off the heels of OVER DRIVE to continue his run. Jockey Yeni was brought before the Board, shown the patrol film of the race and reminded of his obligation to keep his mount on a straight course in future. BLUE CASTLE was selected for the taking of specimens for analysis. Trainer Paddock was questioned regarding the improved performance of BLUE CASTLE compared to his previous race on the 07/02/2017. Trainer Paddock explained that he had removed the blinkers for today's run and this may account for BLUE CASTLE's improved performance. The Board advised Trainer Paddock to race BLUE CASTLE similarly equipped in future. Vet: MUSTANG BOY - short right hind. TOPO - speedy toe. Scratched: ME-HORSE - under 12 day suspension. AIR BELLE - coughing.
