En-route to the start, VARDO which was being escorted by a lead pony, ducked out sharply and dislodged Jockey Lerena. VARDO was taken in hand and led to the start where it was examined by the Veterinary Surgeon and passed fit to race. MISS BOOMERANG proved reluctant to canter to the start and was led by Jockey Munger. Trainer Dawson and Trainer Spies were advised that should these horses behave in a similar manner in future, they may be suspended. In view of the performance of VAN HALEN, the Veterinary Surgeon as requested to examine this gelding. Shortly after the start, ROYAL DELIGHT and DEWALI came together and bumped. ROYAL ITALIAN shifted both ways away from the crop from the 200m. BOLD EAGLE was selected for the taking of specimens for analysis. Vet: VAN HALEN - lame right front. LETHAL WEAPON post race distress.
