RAW COURAGE and LUCKDRAGON were restless in the stalls. BONJOUR BABY and WHAT A MOON lost one length. ROY'S REGIS (AUS) was selected for the taking of specimens for analysis. Trainer Howells was questioned with regard to the improved performance of ROY'S REGIS (AUS), the winner compared to this colt's previous performances. He explained that in those races he had this colt race with cover and as a result, in his opinion, he had not run on at the finish. Today he instructed the rider to race this colt from the front. This change in tactics and racing ROY'S REGIS (AUS) equipped with a tongue tie had in his opinion, accounted for the improvement shown. Mr Howells has given the undertaking that he will race ROY'S REGIS (AUS) using similar tactics and with a tongue tie in his immediate future engagements. The Board noted his explanations. ROYAL RUSTLER and WHAT A MOON raced green. In view of the performances of LUCKDRAGON and EPIC SWORD, the Veterinary Surgeon was requested to examine these horses. BRITISH POUND is a gelding and not a colt as carded. The notification of gelding is to be investigated by the Stipendiary Board. Vet: LUCKDRAGON - nothing obvious detected. EPIC SWORD - not striding out left fore and was coughing. BRITISH POUND - badly cut into left hind.
