TALKTOTHESTARS, SERGEANT HARDY and CAPTAIN'S CAUSEWAY lost one length. TRIP TO HEAVEN stood losing four lengths and thereafter was slow into stride. Trainer Tarry was advised to re-school this gelding. BULL VALLEY was selected for the taking of specimens for analysis. SERGEANT HARDY, over-racing, threw his head up and shifted out slightly shortly after the start. This resulted in KANGAROO JACK clipping heels and stumbling badly. Jockey Fayd'Herbe reported TALKTOTHESTARS took no interest in running. In view of the performance of SERGEANT HARDY, the Veterinary Surgeon was requested to examine this gelding. GULF STORM raced with a tongue tie. Vet: TALKTOTHESTARS - coughing. SERGEANT HARDY - cut into left hind. Scratched: VICTORIOUS JAY - sold without engagement.
