There was a delay to the start of the 6th Race as a result of the Veterinary Surgeon examining RED CHESNUT ROAD at the start - declared fit to race, as well as a request from the Racing Operator due to a signal break with Telly Track. WILD WICKET lost 2 lengths. SUMMER SKY lost 3 lengths. SOCIAL ORDER and PLATINUM PRINCE were selected for the taking of specimens for analysis. Jockey van Rensburg reported WILD WICKET took no interest in running. Jockey Marcus reported CELTIC CAPTAIN took no interest in running and as a result did not persevere with his ride in the closing stages. IT'S MY TURN was hanging out in the straight. IT'S MY TURN was carried in slightly by SOCIAL ORDER approaching the 100 metre mark. In view of the performance of SUN ON AFRICA, the Veterinary Surgeon was requested to examine this gelding. RED CHESNUT ROAD returned post-race having cast the right fore shoe. Vet: WILD WICKET, CELTIC CAPTAIN and SUN ON AFRICA - nothing obvious detected. Abrasions from transport incident. SUMMER SKY - mouth injury. Scratched: REDCARPET CAPTAIN - swollen right fore joint.
