STEEL ROSE was reluctant to load. ORAKAL, which was restless in the stalls, was slow losing one length. Jockey Domeyer, the rider of RUN RED, was charged with a contravention in that he failed to ride with the equipment that he weighed out with. Jockey Domeyer signed an Admission of Guilt and was fined. In view of the performance from RUN RED, the Veterinary Surgeon was requested to examine the colt on its return to the unsaddling enclosure and submit a report. DOUBLEMINT and THE SUN ALSO RISES were selected for the taking of specimens for analysis. Vet: RUN RED - returned blowing.
