Jockey Yeni did not ride at today's meeting (medically indisposed). SOLDIER'S BRIDE was presented with a companion prior to the 1st Race for recertification after the starting stall certificate had been withdrawn on the 27.1.2017. This mare was passed tractable. PRINCE ARDENT, VITTORIO, EPIC SWORD and ZENZERO were slow into stride. TURF CONQUEROR lost 1 length. ZENZERO was selected for the taking of specimens for analysis. SOVEREIGN SOLDIER over-raced in the early and middle stages. TURF CONQUEROR was baulked between the 350 and 250 metre marks and thereafter was switched out to obtain a clear run. In view of the performances of BYPASS and EPIC SWORD, the Veterinary Surgeon was requested to examine these horses. VITTORIO returned post race having cast the left fore shoe. TURF CONQUEROR raced with his tongue tied down. Vet: BYPASS - nothing obvious detected. EPIC SWORD - lame left hind.
