The start of this Race was delayed in order to establish an audio link to all off course outlets and the Tellytrack studio as a result of the satellite link being lost due to an electric storm in Johannesburg. PYRENEES IN SPAIN and SONAR ACTIVE were slow into stride. DARK MOON RISING was selected for the taking of specimens for analysis. DISCOURSE raced wide throughout. GREAT RUMPUS was cramped and steadied shortly after entering the final straight. SONAR ACTIVE made contact with and unbalanced CALABASH near the 150 metre mark. BRIGHT BLESSED DAY took no interest in running. Apprentice Ngwane reported STORM RULER took no interest in running. PYRENEES IN SPAIN took no interest in the early and middle stages. In view of the performance SLIGHTLY SCOTTISH, the Veterinary Surgeon was requested to examine this gelding. The Medical Officer reported that Jockey Murray stood down after the running of this Race was dehydration. Vet: STORM RULER - not striding out right hind. PYRENEES IN SPAIN - coughing. BRIGHT BLESSED DAY and SLIGHTLY SCOTTISH - nothing obvious detected. Scratched: HIGH GREEN - elevated temperature.
