SPECIAL ENCOUNTER was restless in the stalls losing 1 length. PHOEBUS was selected for the taking of specimens for analysis. In the closing stages, BEDAZZLED JOKER and LONDON KNIGHT were carried in by PHOEBUS, who was hanging in from the 300 metre mark. Thereafter, when racing in tight quarters, BEDAZZLED JOKER and LONDON KNIGHT came together and made contact shortly before the finish. A race review was called by a member of the Stipendiary Board into this incident and after reviewing the patrol videos from the various angles took no further action and allowed the Judge's result to stand. In view of the performance of NOBLE DUKE, the Veterinary Surgeon was requested to examine this gelding. PHOEBUS was sold with engagement and the Ownership should read: Mr C Fenwick; and the Colours are: dayglo yellow, dayglo yellow and purple checked diamond sleeves, quartered cap. Vet: NOBLE DUKE - nothing obvious detected. Scratched: NEVER GIVE IN - under 12 day suspension.
