KNUCKLEBALL was very fractious in the starting stalls, which in turn caused BUTCHIE BOY and SWEET TEA to break through the starting stalls. Both horses were pulled up and brought back behind the starting stalls where they were declared fit to race. Jockey Simons was dislodged and injured and KNUCKLEBALL was withdrawn by the Course Veterinary Surgeon. KNUCKLEBALL's Starting Stalls Certificate has been withdrawn and is to be recertified tractable prior to being nominated to race again. Jockey Simons was stood down by the Course Medical Officer for the rest of the race meeting. BUTCHIE BOY was hanging in, in the final 300 metres of this race. FLANDERS was selected for the taking of specimens for analysis. Vet: KNUCKLEBALL - reared in the starting stalls injuring the right for leg, was checked, found lame, and withdrawn from the race. Scratched: KNUCKLEBALL - withdrawn at the start by the Course Veterinary Surgeon.
