FIRTH OF CLYDE was nervous in the stalls. Jockey Murray reported that ROYAL CRESCENT was changing stride from the 300 metre mark. Jockey Munger reported FRENCH CAPTAIN was changing stride in the running. Jockey Penny's left foot slipped out of his stirrup iron and he became unbalanced for several strides approaching the 100 metre mark. Jockey van der Merwe was stood down by the Course Medical Officer after the running of this race - knee injury. ROCK DEEJAY was selected for the taking of specimens for analysis. Trainer Sham was questioned regarding the improved performance of ROCK DEEJAY compared to his previous race on the 03/03/2017. She explained that this gelding performs over a shorter distance and this may account for its improved performance. The Board noted this explanation. ROYAL CRESCENT raced with a tongue tie. Vet: LE GRAND ROUGE - abnormal respiratory noise. ROYAL CRESCENT - checked post race, nothing obvious detected. FRENCH CAPTAIN - not striding out in front.
