SHOTGUN RIDER, HAPPY PILLS, TORA TORA and TOM FOOL were slow into stride. Jockey Khumalo reported that he felt something amiss with TOM FOOL and he did not persevere with his ride from the 300m. Jockey Penny reported that EGO AMIGO (AUS) did not stride out freely in running and he did not persevere with his ride from the 300m. At approximately the 1000m, DELFTSHAVEN became unbalanced when bumped by GASOLINE (AUS), which rolled out marginally. At approximately the 200m HAPPY PILLS was awkwardly placed between GASOLINE (AUS), which rolled in marginally, and KING'S KING, which shifted both ways away from the crop from the 300m. HAPPY PILLS was selected for the taking of specimens for analysis. Jockey Lerena, the rider of GASOLINE (AUS), dropped his crop at approximately the 50m. BLACK COSSACK raced in Club colours. Vet: DELFTSHAVEN - abnormal respiratory noise. TOM FOOL - examined post race, no significant findings. EGO AMIGO (AUS) - lame left front. Scratched: MILITARY AWARD - urticaria. The course farrier on duty did not report there to be anything amiss with the shoes fitted to the horses that raced at today's race meeting. The passports of all the runners that raced at today's race meeting were checked and their identities, AHS and Equine Influenza vaccinations confirmed.
